Securing Your Computer
Security Cable Lock
NOTE:
Your computer does not ship with a security cable lock.
A security cable lock is a commercially available antitheft device. To use the
lock, attach it to the security cable slot on your Dell computer. For more
information, see the instructions included with the device.
NOTICE:
Before you buy an antitheft device, ensure that it will work with the
security cable slot on your computer.
Passwords
Passwords prevent unauthorized access to your computer. When you first
start your computer, you must assign a primary password at the prompt. If you
do not enter a password within 2 minutes, the computer returns to its
previous operating state.
When using passwords, observe the following guidelines:
• Choose a password that you can remember, but not one that is easy to guess.
For example, do not use the names of family members or pets for passwords.
• It is recommended that you do not write down your password. If you do write
it down, however, ensure that the password is stored in a secure location.
• Do not share your password with other people.
• Ensure that people are not watching you when you type your password.
