PROTECTING YOUR FLYBOOK

To protect your computer against unauthorized access and damage is very important. The following is an explanation of how to perform this.

Protecting your computer against unauthorized access

Your computer is supplied with 3 password types, different levels of protection to secure your computer system and data against unauthorized access.

BIOS password

The BIOS password can effectively protect your computer from unauthorized access to the system and unauthorized access to the BIOS setup utility.

Once the password is set, you must digit the password at the beginning of boot procedure. Please refer to the BIOS setup utility section.

Note

If you forget the BIOS password, please contact service centers or authorized resel- lers to resolve the problem.

Hard disk password

The hard disk password can prevent unauthorized access to your hard disk. Once the password is set, you must enter the password after BIOS test in the boot procedure. Please refer to BIOS setup utility section to see how to set your hard disk password.

Note

If you forget the hard disk password, as for the BIOS password, please contact servi- ce centers or authorized resellers to resolve the problem.

Operating system passwords

Using an Operating system password to prevent unauthorized access is very effective. Windows XP® allows you to create several sets of user names and passwords for different users. Please refer to Windows XP® user’s manual to see how to create the user’s account and login.

Protecting personal data contained in your FlyBook

• Backup your data to a secondary logical disk driver (D driver)

• Backup your data to a CF card or USB CF disk.

• Backup your data to a recordable compact disk through an external USB or 1394 CD-RAM driver.

• Backup your data to an external USB or 1394 hard disk driver.
