Hard Disk Password <New Function: available dated 02/05/97 BIOS or later>
The hard disk password is a newly added function for ThinkPad 560 computers.
The hard disk password helps you protect the information stored on your removable hard disk drive. Even if your hard disk was removed from the computer, the information stored in your hard disk cannot be accessed without the hard disk password.
When you turn on the computer, the hard disk password prompt appears on the screen and reminds you to enter your password.
Note: The hard disk password is stored on the hard disk drive, and the power-on password is stored in the nonvolatile memory of the computer.
Using the hard disk password with the resume function:
When a hard disk password is set, a preset time-out or an incoming call will not activate the resume function.
To use the resume function with a hard disk password, set the same password for both the power-on password and the hard disk password.
**** NOTE:
*
* Using a Hard Disk Password with a Power-On Password:
*
* You can use the hard disk password with the power-on password at the same time. When you turn on the computer, the power-on password prompt appears first, and then the hard disk password prompt appears on the screen. Enter the correct passwords.
*
* When you set the same hard disk password as the power-on password, only the power-on password prompt appears on the screen. Enter the correct password. The hard disk password screen does not appear.
SETTING A HARD DISK PASSWORD
To set a hard disk password:
1 Start Easy-Setup; then select the Password icon. To start Easy-Setup, press and hold F1 and turn on the computer.
2 Select the HDD icon.
NOTE: In your User's Guide, only the Power-On icon is mentioned. However, the HDD icon appears on the same panel as the Power-On icon.
3 Type your desired hard disk password; then press Enter.
You can use any combination of up to 7 characters. Use a combination of any letters or numbers (A to Z, 0 to 9) in upper case (A) or lower case (a). Uppercase and lowercase letters (for example, A and a) are treated the same.
NOTE: When you type a wrong key, use the Backspace key to erase it, and then type the correct key.
4 Type your hard disk password again to verify it; then press Enter.
* DO NOT FORGET YOUR HARD DISK PASSWORD!!!!!!!!!!
Note the password and keep it in a safe place.
If you forget your hard disk password, there is NO WAY TO RESET YOUR PASSWORD OR RECOVER DATA FROM THE HARD DISK. Neither an IBM authorized reseller nor IBM marketing representative can make the hard disk drive usable.
Once you set the password, you cannot change or remove it in Easy-Setup; you must change or remove a password at the password prompt screen that appears when you turn on the computer. See "CHANGING A HARD DISK PASSWORD" and "REMOVING A HARD DISK PASSWORD".
ENTERING A HARD DISK PASSWORD
If a hard disk password is set, the hard disk password prompt appears when:
-You turn on the computer.
-When the computer returns to normal operation from suspend or hibernation mode.
When the password prompt appears at the top left corner on the screen:
1 Type the hard disk password.
-Each time you press a key, the symbol ... appears.
-When typing your password, release each key quickly. If you hold a key down too long, the same letter can be entered repeatedly.
NOTE: DO NOT PRESS THE SPACEBAR after you enter the password; this action removes the password.
2 Press Enter.
-When the password is entered correctly, OK appears and the computer starts normal operation.
-When you enter the password incorrectly, X appears. Enter the correct password.
If you fail to enter the correct password after three tries, you must turn the computer off, wait at least 5 seconds, and turn it on to try again.
CHANGING A HARD DISK PASSWORD
The procedure to change a hard disk password depends on whether it is set to the same password as the power-on password.
When the hard disk password is set the same as the power-on password:
1. Remove the passwords by following the steps in "Removing a Power-On Password" in your User's Guide.
This operation removes both the hard disk password and the power-on password.
2. In Easy-Setup, set a new hard disk password. See the steps in "SETTING A HARD DISK PASSWORD".
3. If you need a power-on password, set in Easy-Setup.
When the hard disk password and the power-on password are different, or a power-on password has not been set:
1. Turn off the computer and wait at least 5 seconds; then turn it on.
2. If you have set a power-on password, type it; then press Enter.
3. When the hard disk password prompt appears, type your current hard disk password; then press the Spacebar.
4. Type the new password: then press the Spacebar.
Use no more than 7 characters.
5. Type the new password again to verify it; then press Enter.
