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

A security keylock notch, located on the left hand side of the computer, lets you 
connect a Kensington-compatible computer 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 "BIOS utility" on page 53.

User Password secures your computer against unauthorized use. Combine 
the use of this password with password checkpoints on boot-up and 
resume from hibernation 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 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.
