                the storage disk instead of the main board.<br/>
                If you forget the password for the main board, password removal can be done at a cost at an LG
                Electronics service center.<br/>
                However, if the password for the disk is lost, the password cannot be cleared and the disk would need to
                be replaced with a new one. Please do not lose the password.
