In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a system for protecting content stored on a storage medium device. The system may comprise: a processor for executing code to access a user password and a recorded serial number; a storage medium device, the storage medium device being operable to return its associated serial number, and the storage medium device providing a device interface that requires the password to access data stored on the storage medium device; and code for booting the system, wherein the code for booting comprises: code for requesting the storage medium device to return its associated serial number; code for comparing the serial number returned by the storage medium device against the recorded serial number; and code for providing the user password to the storage medium device when the code for comparing determines that the serial number returned by the storage medium device matches the recorded serial number.
