Setting the Windows Operating System Password

You can set up a Windows operating system password through the Control Panel, User Accounts.

Setting the BIOS Passwords

CAUTION: We strongly recommend that you write down your password(s) and keep it in a location that is appropriate to your work environment. If you enter a wrong BIOS System password several times, you will be locked out

of the system. If you become locked out, you can restart the Tablet PC and retry the password again. You can repeat restarting and retrying the password as many times as you want. However, if you are unable to remember your password, you will not be able to access your Tablet PC. If this happens, you call Motion Computing Technical Support or your Motion reseller for assistance. Have your Tablet PC Serial number available (located on the label on the back of the unit) for them to assist you.

The level of security you want on your Tablet PC helps determine what

BIOS password(s) you set. These are described in the following sections.

BIOS System Passwords

To set up a password to access the PhoenixBIOSTM Setup Utility on the Tablet PC:

NOTE: These procedures describe using the Pen to enter information; you can also attach an external keyboard if you prefer.

1.Start the Tablet PC.

2.When the Motion Computing Splash Screen appears,

quickly press Hot Key #2 (icon shown here). If you miss the Splash screen, turn the Tablet PC off then back on and try this step again.

3.From the PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility, tap Security on the menu bar.

4.To set up a System password, double-tap Enter next to Set System Password.

5.Type in a System Password using the onscreen keyboard.

6.Tap Enter.

7.Type in the password again to confirm it.

8.Tap Enter. The system returns to the Security screen and the System Password reads Set. A password is now required to enter the PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility.

9.To set up a Password on boot, tap Disabled next to Password on boot until Enabled is highlighted. You will not be prompted to type in another password because Password on boot uses the System password.

NOTE: You cannot set up Password on boot until you set up a

System password.
