Chapter 7. Security
This chapter provides information about how to protect the information stored on your tablet.
Using passwords
By using passwords, you can help prevent your tablet from being used by others. Once you set a password, a prompt is displayed on the screen each time you turn on the tablet. Enter your password at the prompt. You cannot use the tablet unless you type the correct password.
Passwords and sleep mode
If you have set a Windows password and you put your tablet into sleep mode, you will be prompted to enter the password when resuming operation.
If you use your email address as a user account to sign in to Windows, enter your email password when resuming operation.
Supervisor password
If you have set a supervisor password in the ThinkPad Setup program, you are prompt to enter a supervisor password when you start the ThinkPad Setup program.
The supervisor password protects the system information stored in the ThinkPad Setup program. Without it, no one can change the configuration of the tablet.
Note: The system administrator can set the same supervisor password on many ThinkPad notebook tablets to make administration easier.
