Working with partition protection
See the "Partition protection" section for the detailed description of partition protection.
You can control partition protection from:
To enable/disable protection or change the password, you should first select a partition.
You can choose the operation in the right panel, in the menu or on the toolbar.
Enable Protection.
• Select an unprotected partition.
• Select "Enable protection".
• Enter the password (if you forget it, you can view the password hint by moving the mouse pointer over the "Forgot the password" label).
Disable protection.
• Select a protected partition.
• Select "Disable protection".
• Enter the password (if you forget it, you can view the password hint by moving the mouse pointer over the "Forgot the password" label).
Change password.
• Select a protected partition.
• Select "Change Password ".
• Enter the old password (if you forget it, you can view the password hint by moving the mouse pointer over the "Forgot the password" label).
• Enter the new password and the password hint (if you do not want to specify the hint, leave the field blank).
After you confirm the operation, the program will carry it out and show you the result.
When you make an attempt to protect a partition, you can face the situation when files located on this partition are being used by the system or by one of the running applications. In this case the program will display a warning and offer you one of the following three variants: cancel the operation, repeat the operation or ignore the message. If you ignore the warning, the program will protect the partition, but it may cause the running applications or the operating system to work incorrectly because the partition they are using will disappear from the system.
The program will also warn you about an attempt to protect a bootable partition (active primary partition or the partition where the current operating system is installed). After you protect this active primary partition, you will not be able to start any operating system from the disk until you disable the protection. If you protect a disk an operating system on it, you will not be able to start this operating system until you disable the protection.
Limitations of an unregistered version:
• When the 30-day trial period expires, it will be impossible to enable protection and change passwords.
• The fields for entering passwords when you enable protection or changing the password are automatically filled in with the password "demo". If you use other passwords, the program will refuse to enable protection or change the password.
• The password hint field is filled in with a string telling you that the password in the unregistered version of the program is "demo".
fter you register the program, all limitations will be removed. You can find information about registering the program in the "Registration" section.
