2. Select the
Power Schemes
tab.
3. Select the power scheme you wish to modify, and adjust
options in the lists on the screen.
4. Select
Apply.

when the notebook is turned on, resumes from standby, or
restores from hibernation.
To set a password prompt:
1. Access the Power Options window.
2. Select the
Advanced
tab.
3. Select the check box for Prompt for password when the
notebook resumes from standby.
4. Select
