The Security window enables you to configure the following types of security protections:
• You can configure password protection and enable the administrator (Admin) account as described in
Chapter 4.
• You can enable a screen saver to turn on after a specified Inactivity Time. Once the screen saver is
turned on, it remains locked until you press any key or move the mouse. If passwords are required,
you may need to type in a password to continue.
