The master password is used to remove DriveLock protection and to gain access to the hard drive instead of the user password. The owner of the master password may be the system administrator. CAUTION: Forgetting or losing both the user and master passwords will render the protected hard drive permanently unusable. Record your master password and keep it in a secure location physically separate from your computer. In the event you lose the user password, the master password can be used to unlock a protected hard drive and reset the user password. NOTE: If you forget your user or master password, contact Compaq customer support for further instructions before proceeding.
