Hard Disk Passwords
Two types of the hard disk passwords help protect the information stored on
the hard disk:
Hard disk master password
Hard disk user password, which requires a hard disk master password
Note:
To set a master password and a user password both as the Hard Disk
Password, you need to select
User
+
Master through Built-in HDD1
Password Select in BIOS Setup Utility.
You need to set a master password and a user password both as the Hard
Disk Password. Either of the passwords can be used to get access to the
Hard disk. Any change or removal to the master password deletes the user
password.
To set a hard disk password:
1 Turn on your computer. Press F2, while the initial screen is displayed.
The BIOS Setup Utility screen opens.
2 Select Security, using the cursor directional keys.
