Using passwords

A password is a group of characters that you choose to secure your Slate's information. Several types of passwords can be set, depending on how you want to control access to your information. Passwords can be set in Windows or in the non-Windows BIOS Setup preinstalled on the Slate.

CAUTION: To avoid being locked out of the Slate, record each password you set. Because most

passwords are not displayed as they are set, changed, or deleted, it is essential to record each password immediately and store it in a secure place.

You can use the same password for a BIOS Setup feature and for a Windows security feature. You can also use the same password for more than one BIOS Setup feature.

Use the following guidelines when setting a password in BIOS Setup:

●A password can be any combination of up to 8 letters and numbers and is case sensitive.

●A password set in BIOS Setup must be entered at a BIOS Setup prompt. A password set in Windows must be entered at a Windows prompt.

Use the following tips for creating and saving passwords:

●When creating passwords, follow requirements set by the program.

●Write down your passwords and store them in a secure place away from the Slate.

●Do not store passwords in a file on the Slate.

●Do not use your name or other personal information that could be easily discovered by an outsider.
