QuickLock/
QuickBlank
QuickLock/QuickBlank lets you disable the keyboard and
mouse interface and optionally blank the screen while
applications are running.
To enable QuickLock/QuickBlank, you must first establish a
Power-On Password. Refer to the section, Establishing a Power-On
Password, earlier in this chapter, for instructions.
When QuickLock and QuickBlank are enabled through the
Security Management option in Computer Setup, entering a
QuickLock key combination (Ctrl+Alt+L) disables the keyboard
and the mouse interface. If QuickBlank is not activated, the
application remains in view on the screen, but it cannot be
accessed.
To re-enable the input device interface and access the
application, you must enter the Power-On Password that you
established in Security Management.
Enabling QuickLock and QuickBlank
To enable the QuickLock and QuickBlank features, complete
the following steps:
1. Turn on or restart the computer.

If you do not press the F10 key while the message is displayed,
you must turn the computer off, then on again to access the utility.

of the Keyboard.
