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 for more information.

The 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.

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.

nEntering 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 the power off and on with the power switch and use the correct pass- word on reboot.

nIf you make an error when re-entering the password a warning will be displayed on the screen. To try again press [Enter] and retype the password. Press [Esc] to abort the password setting process.

nIf Password On Resume is Enabled and Password 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 On Boot is enabled.

nBoot sector protection must be set to [Normal] to install or upgrade an operating system.
