Attaching a mechanical lock
You can attach a mechanical lock to your computer, to help prevent it from being removed without your
permission.
Attach a mechanical lock to the keyhole of the computer; then secure the chain on the lock to a stationary
object. Refer to the instructions shipped with the mechanical lock.
Note: You are responsible for evaluating, selecting, and implementing the locking device and security
feature. Lenovo makes no comments, judgments, or warranties about the function, quality, or performance
of the locking device and security feature.
Using passwords
By using passwords, you can help prevent your computer from being used by others. Once you set a
password, a prompt is displayed on the screen each time you turn on the computer. Enter your password at
the prompt. You cannot use the computer unless you type the correct password.
Passwords and sleep mode
If you have set passwords and you put your computer into sleep mode, the procedure for resuming
operation is as follows:
• You are not prompted to type the password when resuming operation.
• If any hard disk drive or solid-state drive has a password, it is unlocked automatically when you resume
operation.
Note: If a Windows password has been set, you will be prompted to enter it.
