Using a Supervisor Password
Removing a Supervisor Password
To remove the supervisor password:
1
Turn off the computer and wait at least 5 seconds; then turn it
on.
2
Start Easy-Setup by pressing and holding F1 and then turning
on the computer.
3
When the power-on prompt ( ) appears, type your current
supervisor password; then press Enter.
4
Select the Password icon from the
Easy-Setup
menu.
5
Select the Supervisor icon; then type your current password
and press the Spacebar.
6
Press Enter at the blank box.
7
Press Enter again at the verification screen.
When the supervisor password is removed, the lock in the
Supervisor icon is unlocked (
) and you can select the HDD
icons.
If you are using more than one hard disk drive, see page 115.
Using Several Hard Disk Drives with the Supervisor Password
Because the supervisor password automatically sets a hard disk
password, you must set a supervisor password for each hard disk
drive you are using in the main hard disk drive bay.
If you install a hard disk in the UltraBay of the computer or the
SelectaDock Docking System, you must set the same supervisor
password for those hard disk drives. You can set the same
supervisor password for the hard disk in the main hard disk as the
one in the UltraBay of the computer. But you need to move the hard
disk in the SelectaDock Docking System to the main hard disk drive
bay to set a supervisor password for that hard disk.
To change or remove a supervisor password when you are using
several hard disk drives, you must change or remove the hard disk
password for each hard disk drive.
