The Security menu allows you to set up the data security
features of your notebook to fit your operating needs
and to view the current security configuration. Follow

If you set a password, write it down and
keep it in a safe place. If you forget the
password you will have to contact your
support representative to regain access to
your secured functions and data.
■
Entering a password incorrectly 3 times
in a row will cause the keyboard and
mouse to be locked out and the warning
[System Disabled] to be displayed.
If this happens restart the computer by
turning off and on the power with the
power switch and use the correct pass-
word on reboot.
■
If you make an error when re-entering
the password a [Warning] will be dis-
played on the screen. To try again press
the Enter key and then retype the pass-
word. Press the Esc key to abort the
password setting process.
■
If the Power Management Security is
Enabled and the Password on Boot is
Disabled you will not have to type your
password upon resuming the system
from the Suspend or Save-to-Disk
modes. Power Management Security
will work only if Password boot is
enabled.
