Securing your computer
Security features include hardware and software locks — a security notch,
fingerprint recognition sensor, and password.
Security notch
A security notch located on the rear panel of the computer lets you connect
a Kensington-compatible computer security lock.
Wrap a computer security lock cable around an immovable object such as
a table or locked drawer handle. Insert the lock into the notch and turn the
key to secure the lock. Some keyless models are also available. See “Rear
view” on page 7 for the location of this notch.
Fingerprint recognition sensor
A fingerprint recognition sensor is located beside the power button. See
“Top view” on page 3 for the location of this sensor. This security feature
allows only an authorized user to access the computer. For more details
see the related documentation that comes with your computer.
Passwords
Passwords protect your computer from unauthorized access. When set,
no one can access the computer without entering the correct password.
There are three types of passwords you can set:
•
Supervisor Password secures your computer against unauthorized
entry to critical parameters in the BIOS Utility.
• User Password secures your computer against unauthorized use, and
allows limited access to the BIOS Utility.
• Hard Disk Password protects your data by preventing unauthorized
access to your hard disk (even if the hard disk is physically removed
from the computer and installed in another computer).
See “About passwords” on page 43 for details.
Important:
Do not forget your Setup and Hard Disk password! If you
forget your password, please get in touch with your dealer or an
authorized service center.
