Notebook Computer Security
Notebook Computer Security is important to avoid theft or accidental loss of your computer software and hardware. The Compaq Armada 6500 provides the following levels of protection:
·User Password – Used to prevent unauthorized access to your notebook computer and prevent unauthorized removal of the notebook from a docking option. The User Password also allows access to a subset of the System Setup options.
·Supervisor Password – Used to prevent unauthorized access to your notebook computer’s System Setup.
·Password on Undock – Used to prevent unauthorized undocking of the notebook from the Armada 6500 Convenience Base or Mobile 6500 Expansion Unit. Requires a User Password be set.
_________________________Caution____________________________
It is important that you remember your User and Supervisor Password after you have set them on your notebook computer. If you forget either password and want to have it reset, you must send the notebook computer along with proof of ownership to a Compaq Service Center for service.
