Using an instant password
An instant password secures your system with a single
keystroke. Use this feature when you leave your desk for a
few minutes and do not want to turn off the computer.
To use an instant password, press Fn, then press F1. This
freezes the keyboard and TouchPad, and blanks the screen.
An instant password has no effect on an optional USB mouse
or trackball.
To unlock your system, press Enter and the Windows Logon
screen will appear. Select your user name and enter your
password, if any.
