Changing the User or Master Password
NOTE: If you forget your user password, you can access your
removable hard drive with the master password. Make note of the
user password. Record the master password and put it in a safe
place physically separate from the computer.
Once you create a user or master password, you can only change
the password after the computer has restarted and the protected
hard drive has been unlocked.
To change your password:
1. Run Computer Setup.
2. Select the Security Menu, the Drive Lock password and press
Enter.
3. Select the drive for which you want to change the password
and press F10.
4. Type your current password in the Old Password field.
5. Enter your new password in the New Password field and type
the new password in the Verify New Password field. (You
may use up to 32 alphanumeric characters, and you may use
the same password you are using for the power-on password.)
NOTE: Type carefully because the password does not display as
you type it. Press F10.
7. Exit Computer Setup. Select FileÅSave changes and exit.
Press Enter. When prompted to confirm your choice, press F10.
The changes will take effect when you exit Computer Setup.
