Chapter 2. Learning the basics

Using passwords

Using passwords helps prevent your computer from being used by others. Once you set a password and enable it, a prompt appears on the screen each time you power on the computer. Enter your password at the prompt. The computer cannot be used unless you enter the correct password.

Note: This password can be from one to seven alphanumeric characters in any combination.

For details about how to set the password, see the Help to the right of the screen in BIOS setup utility.

Note: To enter BIOS setup utility, press F2 when the Lenovo logo appears on the screen while the computer is starting up.
