Hard disk drive passwords
Your computer comes with a program preinstalled that lets you set 
two types of hard disk drive passwords, user and master. These 
passwords protect your primary and secondary hard disks as 
follows:
Setting a hard disk drive user password prevents an 
unauthorized user from accessing your hard disk, even if it is 
removed and installed on another computer. This password 
does not encrypt data on the hard disk.
Setting a hard disk drive master password lets you bypass the 
hard disk drive user password and access your hard disk, in 
case you forget the hard disk drive user password. If you 
choose to set a hard disk drive master password, you must set 
it before you set a hard disk drive user password.
HINT: The hard disk drive shipped with your computer may 
not support the master password feature. When you attempt 
to set master password protection, your computer may alert 
you that this feature is not supported by your drive. If this 
happens and you want to establish a master password for 
your hard disk, contact your network administrator for 
instructions.
