LifeBook Security/
Application Panel
A unique feature of your LifeBook notebook is the Secu- rity/Application Panel that allows you to secure your notebook from unauthorized use. The Security/Applica- tion Panel also allows you to launch applications with the touch of a button when your system is on.
If the security system is activated, upon starting your notebook or resuming from Standby mode the security system requires you to enter a password code using the buttons on the Security/Application Panel. After entering a correct password, your notebook resumes system operation. (Figure
NOTE: The functions of the buttons vary, depending upon whether you have Microsoft Windows® XP Professional or Windows XP Tablet PC/Vista Edition pre- installed. Systems with Windows XP Tablet PC Edition or Windows Vista™ installed have additional functions, as detailed in the tables on the following page.

PASSWORDS
The user and supervisor password may be set on this notebook. A supervisor password is typically the same for all LifeBook notebooks in a working group, office, or company to allow for system management. Individual notebooks in a group environment should not use a common password. A password consists of one to five button strokes plus the enter button. A valid stroke consists of pushing one or up to four buttons simulta- neously. The following are valid button strokes:
■Pushing [4] by itself
■Pushing [2] and [3] at the same time
■Pushing [1], [2], and [4] at the same time
■Pushing [1], [2], [3], and [4] at the same time
The following are valid passwords. The numbers within braces ({ }) are button strokes using more than one button.
■{[2]+[3]}, [1], [enter]
■[4], [enter]
■{[1]+[3]}, {[2]+[3]+[4]}, [1], [4], [2], [enter]
Setting Passwords
When shipped from the factory, no passwords are set. You have a choice of having no password or setting a supervisor and user password. You must set the super- visor password before the user password.
■The purpose of supervisor password is to be able to bypass the user password in case the user password is forgotten. The supervisor password alone will not lock the system.
■You have to set both the supervisor and user passwords for the security panel to work.
