security cable slot on your computer. For more information, see the instructions included with the

Passwords
Passwords prevent unauthorized access to your computer. When you first start your computer, you
must assign a primary password at the prompt. If you do not enter a password within 2 minutes, the
computer returns to its previous operating state.
When using passwords, observe the following guidelines:
• Choose a password that you can remember, but not one that is easy to guess. For example, do not
use the names of family members or pets for passwords.
