Using a Hard Disk Password Setting a Hard Disk Password To set a hard disk password: 1. Start Easy-Setup by pressing and holding F1 and then turning on the computer. 2. Select the Password icon and then select HDD ( 1 ). Note: When you type a wrong key, use the Backspace key to erase it, and then type the correct key. 3. Type your desired hard disk password; then press Enter. You can use any combination of up to 7 characters. Use a combination of any letters or numbers (A to Z, 0 to 9) in uppercase (A) or lowercase (a). Uppercase and lowercase letters (for example, A and a) are treated the same. 4. Type your hard disk password again to verify it; then press Enter. Entering a Hard Disk Password If a hard disk password is set, the hard disk password prompt appears when: You turn on the computer. When the computer returns to normal operation from suspend or hibernation mode. Note: Do not press the Spacebar after you enter the password; this action removes the password. When the password prompt appears at the top left corner on the screen, type the hard disk password; then press Enter. When the password is entered correctly, OK appears and the computer starts normal operation. When you enter the password incorrectly, X appears. Enter the correct password. If you fail to enter the correct password after three tries, you must turn the computer off, wait at least 5 seconds, and turn it on to try again. Chapter 5. Protecting Your Computer 79
