Dell Mini 1012 BIOS HDD Password Option: Is a Master & User Password Set ?
Hi,
I've recently upgraded to an Intel 530 SSD in my Dell mini 1012. It makes the notebook much better.
I've now set a HDD Password via the BIOS option (BIOS version A12). I've read a little about Master and User HDD passwords, and I would like to know if this BIOS option only sets a user or master or both passwords ?
If the user password is set to what I have entered, does the BIOS also generate a master password ?
If a "Dell generated" Master password has also been set, how can I ensure there is no back door to unlock my SSD ? I believe the master password can be setup to only allow a secure erase, and not unlock the SSD. Can I set this up, when I only know the user password ?
I want my Dell Mini 1012 to unlock it's SSD with only the password I have entered. Its OK if there is a second master password, as long as this password can only do an erase, and can't unlock my SSD for someone else to use.
Thanks
