Due to unknown reason BIOS usualy not support this hard drive function.
There is little program that add this function.
Binary file dbios14.bin must be writen on EPROM and placed in computer address space. For PCI bus may be used network adapter with EPROM socket (you must make appropriate adapter setings) .
After BIOS pass all tests it must start code in EPROM. In this moment program will wait 3 seconds for appropriate key combination.
Alt+C - Fast search for devices with enabled password option.
Alt+P - Main configuration menu. If your drive support password you will be able to set password.
Combinations:
Drive with High level security may be unlocked with User or Master password.
Drive with Maximum level security may be unlocked ONLY with User password. (Master password in this case may be used for low lever disk erase, but this functions are not yet implemented.)
That is all: If you are brave you can try this program.
REMEMBER if password is lost then hard drive is UNUSABLE!
Use this program on your own risk!
