SECURING YOUR COMPUTER

Your computer is a valuable investment that you need to take care of.

Learn how to protect and take care of your computer.

Security features include hardware and software locks — a security

notch and passwords.

Using a computer security lock

The computer comes with a computer security slot for a security lock.

Wrap a computer security lock cable around an immovable object

such as a table or handle of a locked drawer. Insert the lock into the

notch and turn the key to secure the lock. Some keyless models are

also available.

Using passwords

Passwords protect your computer from unauthorized access. Setting

these passwords creates several different levels of protection for your

computer and data:

• Supervisor Password prevents unauthorized entry into the BIOS

utility. Once set, you must enter this password to gain access to the

BIOS utility. See Setting passwords on page 48.

• User Password secures your computer against unauthorized use.

Combine the use of this password with password checkpoints on

boot-up and resume from Hibernation (if available) for maximum

security.

• Password on Boot secures your computer against unauthorized

use. Combine the use of this password with password checkpoints

on boot-up and resume from Hibernation (if available) for maximum

security.

Important

Do not forget your Supervisor Password! If you forget your password,

please get in touch with your dealer or an authorized service center.
