CAUTION: Make sure you choose a hard disk drive master

password diskette, you will need to enter the hard disk drive
master password in order to access your hard disk.
A confirmation screen appears to verify you want to
register the password.

HDDPWM saves the password on the media as a text file.
If you forget your password, you can open the text file on
another computer and find out what the password is.

the computer must be turned off and restarted in order for
the change to take place.
