SECURITY MENU – SETTING THE SECURITY FEATURES

The Security menu allows you to set up the data security features of your notebook to fit your operating needs and to view the current data security configuration. Follow the instructions for Navigating Through the Setup Utility to make any changes. (See Navigating Through the Setup Utility on page 2 for more information)

The following tables show the names of the menu fields for the Security menu and its submenus, all of the options for each field, the default settings and a description of the field’s function and any special information needed to help understand the field’s use. The default condition is no passwords required and no write protection.

C A U T I O N

Entering a password incorrectly 3 times in a row will cause the keyboard and mouse to be locked out and the warning [System Disabled] to be displayed. If this happens restart the computer by turning off and on the power with the power switch and use the correct password on reboot.

P O I N T

■If you set a password, write it down and keep it in a safe place. If you forget the password you will have to contact your support representative to regain access to your secured functions and data.

■If you make an error when re-entering the password a [Warning] will be displayed on the screen. To try again press the Enter key and then retype the pass- word. Press the Esc key to abort the password setting process.

■If the Password on Resume is Enabled and the Pass- word on Boot is Disabled you will not have to type your password upon resuming the system from the Suspend or Save-to-Disk modes. Password on Resume will work only if Password boot is enabled.
