178 Keeping Your Files Safe User-level passwords A hard disk drive password-Protects your data by preventing access to the hard disk, even if it is removed and installed in another computer. You can set a hard disk drive user password and/or a hard disk drive master password. User-level passwords The user-level password is the basic level of password security. You can use it as both a power-on password and an instant password. For most users, this is all the password security you'll need. CAUTION: Make sure you use a password you can remember easily. If you ever forget your password, contact your network administrator.
