Setting User Password

1Go to the Start menu.

2.Click on Programs.

3.Click on Security Panel Application and Set User Password.

4.Follow the on-screen instructions to set the user password.

You may change or remove the supervisor or user password by repeating the steps defined above.

OPERATING YOUR LIFEBOOK SECURITY/ APPLICATION PANEL

The security lock feature is in effect both when the system resumes from Off or standby state. You always need to push the Suspend /Resume button to input the user pass- word. Your system will not begin the boot sequence without entering your supervisor/user password.

From Off State

1.Turn on your system.

2.When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the pass- word and press Enter button.

For example, if the password is 22222,

Press Button Number 2 five times and press Enter button.

The LifeBook notebook will boot to normal opera- tion.

From Standby State

1.Press your Power/Suspend/Resume button.

2.When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the pass- word and press Enter button.

The notebook should resume normal operation.

Incorrect Password Entry

If an invalid supervisor or user password is entered three times in succession, the system will “beep” for about one minute. If a valid password is entered within a minute (while system beeps), the beeping will stop and the note- book will resume normal operation. If no password (or an invalid one) is entered while the system beeps, the system will return to its previous locked state (standby or off) and the Security Indicator will go off. To reacti- vate the notebook after a password failure, you must press the Power/Suspend/Resume button, then enter a correct password.

Remember the user password you specified on the Security Panel Application. If you forget the password you will not be able to use your computer.

Note that the supervisor password can override the user password, but if you forget the supervisor password, Fujitsu Computer Systems charges a service fee for unlocking a password restricted LifeBook notebook.

PRECAUTIONS

Opening and Closing the Cover

Closing the cover automatically places the notebook into standby mode. Opening the cover does not automati- cally place the notebook into normal operation. Instead, you must enter the proper security password after pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button.

Low Battery Operations

If your LifeBook notebook has low battery, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button only turns on the Secu- rity Indicator. Your notebook does not unlock, the Secu- rity Indicator turns off after one minute. To resume normal operation, first attach a power supply to the notebook. Then you may unlock the notebook.

UNINSTALLING THE SECURITY

PANEL APPLICATION

You have two options when uninstalling the security panel application:

■Uninstall the security panel application software. This will disable all security feature.

■Uninstall the security panel application with password still active. This will not allow any changes to the password.

Uninstalling the Security Panel Software

Remove passwords when User wants no password protection whatsoever and doesn’t want to give anybody the utility to set a password on their computer. In this case, if passwords (supervisor, user, or both) are set, the passwords must first be cleared BEFORE removing the application. To clear passwords, follow same procedure in SETTING PASSWORD CODES except this time, select REMOVE, enter current password then click Next. When asked to confirm select Yes.
