Chapter 2. Learning the basics
Securing your computer ---------------------------------------------------------------------
This section provides information about how to help protect your computer from theft and unauthorized use.
Using VeriFace™
VeriFace is a face recognition software which takes a digital snapshot, extracts key features of your face, and creates a digital map that becomes the system’s “password”.
If you want to activate VeriFace for the first time, click the VeriFace icon on the desktop to register your facial image.
Note:
•The face registration and verification works best in an environment with steady and even light.
•You can determine whether to use this function when you log on the system.
For more details on VeriFace, see the software help.
Using passwords
Using passwords helps prevent your computer from being used by others. Once you set a password and enable it, a prompt appears on the screen each time you power on the computer. Enter your password at the prompt. The computer cannot be used unless you enter the correct password.
Note: This password can be from one to seven alphanumeric characters in any combination.
For details about how to set the password, see the Help to the right of the screen in BIOS setup utility.
To start the BIOS setup utility:
1Shut down the computer.
2Press the Novo button and then select BIOS Setup.
