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.
