Securing your computer
Your computer features hardware and software security solutions, in the form of a slot for a Kensington lock and a password facility.
Security slot
A slot for a Kensington slot enables you to physically protect your computer from theft. Use this feature as follows:
•Wrap a security lock cable around a heavy or immoveable object, such as a drawer handle on a file cabinet, or a table leg.
•Insert the lock into the slot on the computer, turn it 90°, and then lock it in place.
Setting a password
Passwords protect your computer from unauthorized access. When set, no one can access the computer without entering the correct password.
There are three types of passwords you can set:
1Supervisor Password secures your computer against unauthorized entry to and use of the BIOS Utility.
2User Password secures your computer against unauthorized use.
3Hard Disk Password protects your data by preventing unauthorized access to your hard disk.
Important! Do not forget your Setup and Hard Disk passwords! If you forget your passwords, please get in touch with your dealer or an authorized service center.
