Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 7, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 7, 2006 Is this the same system that you setup the password on? And have you restarted the system? If not the password will be saved for the current use and it will not ask for it till its re-inserted in another system or this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 11, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 11, 2006 Yes that is correct, or you can try some third party security software from http://www.snapfiles.com that does not require the software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
