Initiate QuickLock (fn+f6)
The fn+f6 hotkey initiates the QuickLock security feature.
QuickLock protects your work by displaying the operating
system Log On window. While the Log On window is displayed,
the notebook cannot be accessed until a Windows user password
or a Windows administrator password is entered.
Before you can use QuickLock, you must set a Windows user
password or a Windows administrator password. For instructions,
refer to Help and Support by pressing the
fn+f1 hotkey or
selecting Start > Help and Support.
» To use QuickLock, press fn+f6 to display the Log On window
and lock the notebook. Then follow the instructions on the
screen to enter your Windows user password or your
Windows administrator password and access the notebook.
For information about combining Windows passwords with
Compaq passwords, refert to Chapter 6, “Security.”
