Passwords As many as three passwords may be needed for any IdeaPad computer: the hard-disk password (HDP), the supervisor password (SVP), and the user password. If any of these passwords has been set, a prompt for it appears on the screen whenever the computer is turned on. The computer does not start until the password is entered. Exception: If only an SVP and a user password are installed, and Password on boot is set to Disabled, the password prompt does not appear when the operating system is booted. Hard-disk password Note: Computers with the solid state drive (SSD) do not support the hard-disk password. There are two hard-disk passwords (HDPs): v User HDP-for the user v Master HDP-for the system administrator, who can use it to get access to the hard disk even if the user has changed the user HDP Note: The Master + User mode requires two HDPs; the system administrator enters both in the same operation. The system administrator then provides the user HDP to the system user. Attention: If the user HDP has been forgotten, check whether the master HDP is available. If it is, it can be used for access to the hard disk drive. If no master HDP is available, neither Lenovo nor Lenovo authorized servicers provide any services to reset either the user or the master HDP, or to recover data from the hard disk drive. The hard disk drive can be replaced, for a scheduled fee. 34 IdeaPad S9e, S10e, and S10 Hardware Maintenance Manual

Passwords
As
many
as
three
passwords
may
be
needed
for
any
IdeaPad
computer:
the
hard-disk
password
(HDP),
the
supervisor
password
(SVP),
and
the
user
password.
If
any
of
these
passwords
has
been
set,
a
prompt
for
it
appears
on
the
screen
whenever
the
computer
is
turned
on.
The
computer
does
not
start
until
the
password
is
entered.
Exception:
If
only
an
SVP
and
a
user
password
are
installed,
and
Password
on
boot
is
set
to
Disabled
,
the
password
prompt
does
not
appear
when
the
operating
system
is
booted.
Hard-disk
password
Note:
Computers
with
the
solid
state
drive
(SSD)
do
not
support
the
hard-disk
password.
There
are
two
hard-disk
passwords
(HDPs):
v
User
HDP—for
the
user
v
Master
HDP—for
the
system
administrator,
who
can
use
it
to
get
access
to
the
hard
disk
even
if
the
user
has
changed
the
user
HDP
Note:
The
Master
+
User
mode
requires
two
HDPs;
the
system
administrator
enters
both
in
the
same
operation.
The
system
administrator
then
provides
the
user
HDP
to
the
system
user.
Attention:
If
the
user
HDP
has
been
forgotten,
check
whether
the
master
HDP
is
available.
If
it
is,
it
can
be
used
for
access
to
the
hard
disk
drive.
If
no
master
HDP
is
available,
neither
Lenovo
nor
Lenovo
authorized
servicers
provide
any
services
to
reset
either
the
user
or
the
master
HDP,
or
to
recover
data
from
the
hard
disk
drive.
The
hard
disk
drive
can
be
replaced,
for
a
scheduled
fee.
