Security functions
Your notebook enables you to protect your system and personal data in a number of ways against
unauthorised access. By combining these options, you can achieve maximum protection for your
system.
In this chapter you will learn which security functions your notebook is equipped with, which
advantages these functions offer you and how to configure and use them.
Please consider that with the security functions you do not only protect your data from unauthorised
access but that your system and data will not be accessible for yourself if the security functions are
handled improperly! Please note therefore the following hints and care for a regular data backup on
external data carriers!

Passwords must be assigned for some security functions. Please be sure to note these
passwords, as otherwise you will no longer be able to access your system.
We recommend that you make a note of the passwords and keep them in a safe place.
If you lose both the user and the supervisor passwords, you must contact our help desk.
The telephone numbers are contained in the "Help Desk" supplement. The loss of
passwords is not a warranty case and is therefore subject to charge.
