Acer eLock Management
Acer eLock Management is a security utility that allow you to lock up your removable data, optical
and floppy drives to ensure that data can not be stolen while your notebook is unattended.
T Removable data devices: includes USB disk drives, USB pen drives, USB flash drives, USB
MP3 drives, USB memory card readers, IEEE 1394 disk drives and any other removable disk
drives that can be mounted as a file system when plugged into the system.
T Optical drive devices: includes any kind of CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives.
T Floppy disk drives: 3.5-inch disks only.
To activate Acer eLock Management, a password must be set at first. Once set, you may apply
locks to any of the three kinds of devices. The lock(s) will be set without any reboot necessary, and
will remain locked after rebooting, until unlocked.
If you do not set a password, Acer eLock Management will reset back to the initial status with all
locks cancelled.
NOTE: If you lose the password, there is no method to reset it except by reformatting the notebook or
taking the notebook to an Acer Customer Service Center. Be sure to remember or write down the
password.
