entering the correct password.
There are three types of passwords you can set:
z
Supervisor Password

BIOS
Utility
z
User Password
secures your computer against unauthorized use, and allows limited access to the
BIOS
Utility
z
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
NOTE
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.
Fingerprint Scanner (Optional)
The optional swipe style fingerprint scanner can be used for all standard security
uses. The optional fingerprint scanner provides a greater level of security and
convenience for your Duo-Touch II and your private data. Use the fingerprint
scanner instead of passwords for the following:
z
Logging in to your Tablet PC
z
Logging into secure websites or when opening password protected
applications
z
Providing encryption security for individual files
Fingerprint Scanner Software
Before using the fingerprint scanner, you must first install compatible software. There are various software packages
available.
CAUTION
Before installing any third party software, ensure it is approved for use with your Tablet PC.
NOTE
When accessing some secure websites, you may need to specify you are using the scanner instead of a
password. Refer to the fingerprint scanner software documentation for setup instructions.
Stealth Mode
Your computer has a Stealth Mode feature for users who may need to use it where light or sound could be dangerous
or disruptive, such as military personnel. Enabling Stealth Mode allows you to disable sound and light features such
as system beeps, the fan, and the display backlight. Refer to the
BIOS Setup Utility
section to configure the Stealth
Mode feature.
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
The TPM can be enabled or disabled in the System
BIOS
utility under the Advanced, Trusted Computing section.
TPM provides a platform root of trust which uniquely identifies a particular platform and provides various crypto
capabilities including hardware-protected storage. See the TPM vendor's help files for more information.
