Securing your computer
Your computer features hardware and software security solutions, in the form of a slot
for a Kensington lock and a password facility.
Security slot
A slot for a Kensington slot enables you to physically protect your computer from
theft. Use this feature as follows:
•
Wrap a security lock cable around a heavy or immoveable object, such as a
drawer handle on a file cabinet, or a table leg.
•
Insert the lock into the slot on the computer, turn it 90°, and then lock it in place.
Passwords
You can protect your computer from unauthorized access by setting Windows
password protection. The user must enter the password before beginning a Windows
session.
•
First, open User Accounts in Windows Control Panel and select your account.
•
Click Create a Password, and then set your desired password.
•
Click Performance and Maintenance, Power Options in Control Panel.
•
On the Advanced tab, select the option to prompt for a password when your
computer resumes from standby.
To cancel password protection, reset the password with a blank password.
