Acer eLock
Acer eLock is a security utility that is included within Acer eManager and made
specifically for Acer desktop computers. This utility allows you to lock up your
USB data, optical and floppy drives to ensure that data can't be stolen while
your computer is unattended.
USB Data Devices — Includes USB disk drives, USB pen drives, USB flash
drives, USB MP3 drives and any other USB drives that would create a Z:
directory when plugged into the system.
Optical Drives — Includes any kind of CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives.
Floppy Disk Drives — 3.5-inch disks only.
To activate Acer eLock, a password must be set first. Once set, you may apply
locks to any of the three kinds of devices. The lock will immediately be set
without any reboot necessary.
If the password you set is empty, eLock will reset back to the initial status with
all locks removed.
Note: If you lose your password, there is no method to reset
password except by reformatting your computer or taking your
PC to an Acer service center. Be sure to remember or write down
your password.
