6.5 The Security Menu
The notebook's advanced security system allows you to set a password to prevent
unauthorized access to system resources, data, and the BIOS Setup program. This section
covers each Security parameter. Selecting
Security
from the menu bar displays the Security
menu.
A Note about Passwords
The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify passwords in the Security menu. The
passwords control access to the BIOS and certain Security menu options during system
startup.
Passwords are not case sensitive. A password can be entered using either upper or lower
case letters; it makes no difference. When you choose your password, it should be
composed of characters A-Z, 0-9 and eight characters in length.
NOTE:
The administrator password must be set before the user password can be set.
