The password will be set up in the BIOS .
Warning!
Keep your password in a safe place. You will not be able to delete your
password if you forget it. Contact your customer Service if you lose your
password.
You can also use the security options of Windows

, in order to protect your data against
unauthorized access. You will find further information in the chapter “Data and System
Security” starting on page 75.
Using a Safety Lock
You can prevent theft by using a Kensington lock , which can be bought at your local
computer retailer.
The cable wraps around an object and the “T” shaped end inserts into the Kensington lock
port and a key or combination dial is used to secure the lock in place. Please keep your key
in a safe place.
