Securing your computer

Security features include hardware and software locks — a security notch and a password.

Security notch

A security notch located on the left panel of the computer lets you connect a Kensington-compatible computer security lock.

Wrap a computer security lock cable around an immovable object such as a table or locked drawer handle. Insert the lock into the notch and turn the key to secure the lock. Some keyless models are available.

Passwords

The user password protects your computer and the BIOS Setup Utility from unauthorized access. When set with appropriate options enabled, no one can access the computer without entering the correct password.

See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 63 for details on how to set a password and related options.

Important: Do not forget your password! If you forget your password, you need to contact your dealer.
