Getting to Know Your LifeBook
Figure 2-20 LifeBook Security/Application Panel
LifeBook Security/Application PanelA unique feature of your LifeBook is the Security/Appli-
cation Panel that allows you to secure your LifeBook
from unauthorized use. The Security/Application Panel
also allows you to launch applications with a touch of a
button when your system is on.
If the security system is activated, upon starting your
LifeBook or resuming from suspend 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 LifeBook resumes system
operation. (Figure 2-20)
SETTING UP YOUR LIFEBOOK SECURITY
PANEL
When you receive your LifeBook, the security panel
application is pre-installed without any passwords.
The following sections will provide detailed information
on your security panel, how to set, change or remove
passwords.
Numbered Buttons
Use these buttons to enter your password.(Figure 2-20)
Enter Button
After entering the button strokes, push this button to
enter the password into the LifeBook. (Figure2-20)
PASSWORDS
The user and supervisor password may be set on this
LifeBook. A supervisor password is typically the same
for all LifeBooks in a working group, office, or company
to allow for system management. Individual LifeBooks
in a group environment should not use a common pass-
word. 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 simultaneously. 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.
Setting Supervisor Password
You must have set a supervisor password before setting
any user passwords. The supervisor password can bypass
the user password.
1. Go to the Start menu.
2. Click on Run.
3. Type in FJSECS.EXE, then press [Enter]
(1) Application A Button
(3) Internet Button
(2) Application B Button
(4) E-Mail Button
Enter Button
POINT
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.
POINT
You have to set both the supervisor and user passwords
for the security panel to work.
