I just installed Zorin and when I tried opening my other drives its locked. Is the a way to unlock it within zorin OS? I usign a laptop and its a bit hard to remove the drive to unlock it in other computers.

Hi and welcome.

Are you dual-booting with Windows?
What drives are present in your Notebook?

Welcome to the Forum!

How are the Drives formatted? Have You Drive Encryption active? Open the Program ''Disks'' and choose there a Drive. Then click on the little Gear Icon:

Then You get a Menu. Choose there the Option ''Take Ownership''.
