Tips on using the hard disk passwords

• You can set the minimum length of a hard disk password through the Security menu.

• If you set a hard disk password of over seven characters, the solid-state drive can be used only with a

computer that can recognize a hard disk password of over seven characters. If you then install the

solid-state drive in a computer that cannot recognize a hard disk password that contains more than

seven characters, you cannot access the drive.

• Record your password and store it in a safe place. If you forget the user hard disk password, or both user

and master hard disk passwords, Lenovo cannot reset your passwords or recover data from the solid-state

drive. You must take your computer to a Lenovo reseller or a marketing representative to have the

solid-state drive replaced. Proof of purchase is required, and a fee will be charged for parts and service.

Notes: The eDrive storage drives or Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Opal-compliant storage drives provide

self-encryption capabilities to secure your data.

• If a TCG Opal-compliant storage drive and a TCG Opal management software program are installed, and

the TCG Opal management software program is activated, the hard disk password is not available.

• If an eDrive storage drive is installed in your computer, and your computer is preinstalled with the

Windows 10 operating system, the hard disk password is not available.
