Note:
This
section
applies
only
to
computer
models
that
have
an
operating
system
preinstalled
from
Lenovo.
An
operating
system
password
is
very
similar
to
a
power-on
password
and
denies
access
to
the
computer
by
an
unauthorized
user
when
the
password
is
activated.
The
computer
is
unusable
until
the
correct
password
is
entered
and
recognized
by
the
computer.
Vital
Product
Data
Each
computer
has
a
unique
Vital
Product
Data
(VPD)
code
stored
in
the
nonvolatile
memory
on
the
system
board.
After
you
replace
the
system
board,
the
VPD
must
be
updated.
To
update
the
VPD,
see
Secure
Managed
Client
The
Secure
Managed
Client
(SMC)
is
a
storage-based,
desktop
computing
solution
that
helps
businesses
reduce
IT
costs
and
improve
security
by
turning
off
hard
disk
drives
and
storing
all
data
in
a
non-server
remote
location
while
offering
users
the
flexibility
and
performance
of
a
traditional
desktop
computer.
For
computer
models
that
do
not
have
an
internal
hard
disk
drive
and
a
preinstalled
operating
system,
but
use
a
remote
hard
disk
drive
accessed
through
the
SMC
-
Storage
Array,
contact
the
network
or
storage
administrator.
