Removing DriveLock Protection
CAUTION: Forgetting or losing both the user and master passwords
will render the protected hard drive permanently unusable. Record
your master password and keep it in a secure location physically
separate from your computer. In the event you lose the user
password, the master password can be used to unlock a protected
hard drive and reset the user password.
Once you create a password, you can only delete the passwords
after the computer has restarted and the protected hard drive has
been unlocked. Removing DriveLock protection deletes both the
user password and the master password.

3. Select DriveLock Protection and press Enter.

6. Type your current master password.
7. Exit Computer Setup. Select FileÅSave changes and exit and
press Enter. When prompted to confirm you choice, press F10.
