created for you. When any user passes the password credential, the same random user and
DriveLock master password will be used to unlock the drive.
NOTE: You must have a BIOS administrator password before you can access the Automatic
DriveLock features.

Using firewall software
Firewalls are designed to prevent unauthorized access to a system or network. A firewall can be a
software program you install on your computer and/or network, or it can be a solution made up of
both hardware and software.
There are two types of firewalls to consider:
● Host-based firewalls—Software that protects only the computer it is installed on.
● Network-based firewalls—Network-based firewalls are Installed between the computers on the
network and the connection to the Internet. Network-based firewalls can be dedicated devices or
devices such as routers or switches with firewall capability.
When a firewall is installed on a system, all data sent to and from the system is monitored and
compared with a set of user-defined security criteria. Any data that does not meet those criteria is
blocked.
Your computer or networking equipment may already have a firewall installed. If not, firewall software
solutions are available.
NOTE: Under some circumstances a firewall can block access to Internet games, interfere with
printer or file sharing on a network, or block authorized e-mail attachments. To temporarily resolve the
problem, disable the firewall, perform the task that you want to perform, and then reenable the
firewall. To permanently resolve the problem, reconfigure the firewall.
1. To view or modify the firewall settings, select Computer > YaST.
NOTE: When accessing YaST, you are prompted for the root password.
2. In the left pane, click Security and Users, and then click Firewall in the right pane.
