Passwords
As
many
as
three
passwords
may
be
needed
for
any
IdeaPad
computer:
the
hard-disk
password
(HDP),
the
supervisor
password
(SVP),
and
the
user
password.
If
any
of
these
passwords
has
been
set,
a
prompt
for
it
appears
on
the
screen
whenever
the
computer
is
turned
on.
The
computer
does
not
start
until
the
password
is
entered.
Exception:
If
only
an
SVP
and
a
user
password
are
installed,
and
Password
on
boot
is
set
to
Disabled
,
the
password
prompt
does
not
appear
when
the
operating
system
is
booted.
Hard-disk
password
Note:
Computers
with
the
solid
state
drive
(SSD)
do
not
support
the
hard-disk
password.
There
are
two
hard-disk
passwords
(HDPs):
v
User
HDP—for
the
user
v
Master
HDP—for
the
system
administrator,
who
can
use
it
to
get
access
to
the
hard
disk
even
if
the
user
has
changed
the
user
HDP
Note:
The
Master
+
User
mode
requires
two
HDPs;
the
system
administrator
enters
both
in
the
same
operation.
The
system
administrator
then
provides
the
user
HDP
to
the
system
user.
Attention:
If
the
user
HDP
has
been
forgotten,
check
whether
the
master
HDP
is
available.
If
it
is,
it
can
be
used
for
access
to
the
hard
disk
drive.
If
no
master
HDP
is
available,
neither
Lenovo
nor
Lenovo
authorized
servicers
provide
any
services
to
reset
either
the
user
or
the
master
HDP,
or
to
recover
data
from
the
hard
disk
drive.
The
hard
disk
drive
can
be
replaced,
for
a
scheduled
fee.
