Passwords

As many as three passwords may be needed for any

ThinkPad computer: the power-on password (POP), the

hard-disk password (HDP), and the supervisor password

(SVP).

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 is installed, the password

prompt does not appear when the operating

system is booted.

Power-on password:

A power-on password (POP) protects the system from

being powered on by an unauthorized person. The

password must be entered before an operating system can

be booted.

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: There are two modes for the HDP: User only and

Master + User. 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.
