DriveLock Feature
Overview
DriveLock security prevents unauthorized access to hard drive
applications and user data. DriveLock sets a user password and a
master password for each removable hard drive in the computer.
NOTE: DriveLock protects or unlocks the computer hard drive(s)
only when inserted into either the hard drive bay or the MultiBay.
Do not use DriveLock if you want to use a hard drive in the
desktop expansion base or convenience base. If you place a
protected hard drive into the desktop expansion base or
convenience base MultiBay, it will remain locked and cannot be
accessed.
The correct user password must be entered when the computer is
turned on before a protected hard drive can be accessed. The
owner of a user password should be the day-to-day user of the
hard drive. The user password will be required even if the hard
drive is inserted into another computer.
The master password is used to remove DriveLock protection and
to gain access to the hard drive instead of the user password. The
owner of the master password may be the system administrator.
