ezRAID3 Manager GUI Version 1.0
Choose and enter any password (up to 32 characters) in the first edit box, and re-enter that
same password in the second edit box. For privacy purposes, a series of asterisk (*)
characters will appear in place of your password.
You can also use the check-box to indicate whether security can be disabled and then
re-enabled with a new password. To preserve the integrity of your original password, this
check-box should remain unchecked.
After entering the same password in both edit boxes and checking or clearing the checkbox,
click the
OK button to proceed with enabling security and locking the hard drives. A
confirmation dialog will appear indicating that your hard drives have been successfully
locked.
Important: Be sure to record the password that you entered in a safe place, since you will need to re-
enter that password to unlock the hard drives and access your data. Once the drives are locked,
there is no way to recover your data if you forget your password.
Unlock Drives
This option is only available when the security feature is enabled and the hard drives have
been locked. When you select the “
Unlock Drive(s)” radio button and click on the Apply
button in the primary Drive Locking screen, the following dialog appears:
To unlock your hard drives, enter the same password that was entered when you locked the
hard drives and click the “
Unlock Drives” button. You can also use the check-box to
indicate whether security can be disabled and then re-enabled with a new password. To
preserve the integrity of your original password, this check-box should remain unchecked.
