Hard disk security

To protect passwords from unauthorized security attacks, several of the latest technologies and algorithms are integrated into UEFI BIOS and hardware design of ThinkPad notebook computers.

To maximize security, do the following:

1.Set a power-on password as well as a hard disk password for your internal solid-state drive or hard disk drive. Refer to the procedures in “Power-on password” on page 50 and “Hard disk passwords” on page 50. For security, a longer password is recommended.

2.If a Disk Encryption hard disk drive or a Disk Encryption solid-state drive is installed in your computer, be sure to protect the contents of your computer memory from unauthorized access by use of drive encryption software.

3.Before you dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer, be sure to delete data stored on it. Refer to “Notice on deleting data from your hard disk drive or solid-state drive” on page 56.

Note: The hard disk drive built into your computer can be protected by UEFI BIOS.

Disk Encryption hard disk drive and Encryption solid-state drive

Some models contain the Disk Encryption hard disk drive or Encryption solid-state drive. This feature helps to protect your computer against security attacks on media, NAND flash or device controllers by use of a hardware encryption chip. For the efficient use of the encryption feature, be sure to set a hard disk password for the internal storage device.

Using the fingerprint reader

Your computer might have an integrated fingerprint reader. Fingerprint authentication can replace passwords and enable simple and secure user access. By enrolling your fingerprint and associating it with a Windows password you can log on to the computer by swiping your finger over the reader, without typing passwords.

Enrolling your fingerprint

To use the integrated fingerprint reader, begin by enrolling your fingerprint as follows:

1.Turn on your computer.
