SECURITY FUNCTIONS OF APPLICATION BUTTONS
Five buttons are used when implementing security functions. Four of the buttons are used to enter the password, and
the fifth is used as an Enter button. Instructions for using the security feature follow the table.
Table 1-5. Security Functions of Application Buttons
SETTING UP THE SECURITY PANEL
When you receive your Tablet PC, the security panel
application is pre-installed without any passwords. The
following sections provide detailed information on your
security panel, how to set, change or remove passwords.
Numbered Buttons
Use these buttons to enter your password.(Figure 1-5)
Enter Button
After entering the button strokes, push this button to
enter the password into the Tablet PC. (Figure 1-5)
PASSWORDS
The user and supervisor password may be set on this
Tablet PC. A supervisor password is typically the same for
all Tablet PC’s and notebooks in a work group, office, or
company to allow for system management. Individual
computers in a group environment should not use a
common password. A password consists of one to five
button strokes plus the enter button. A valid stroke
consists of pushing one or up to four buttons simulta-
neously.
The following are examples of valid button strokes:
■
Pushing [4] by itself
■
Pushing [2] and [3] at the same time
■
Pushing [1], [2], and [4] at the same time
■
Pushing [1], [2], [3], and [4] at the same time
The following are valid passwords. The numbers within
braces ({ }) are button strokes using more than one
button.
■
{[2]+[3]}, [1], [Enter]
■
[4], [enter]
■
{[1]+[3]}, {[2]+[3]+[4]}, [1], [4], [2], [Enter]
Setting Passwords
When shipped from the factory, no passwords are set.
You have a choice of having no password or setting a
supervisor and user password. You must set the super-
visor password before the user password.

The purpose of supervisor password is to
be able to bypass the user password in
case the user password is forgotten. The
supervisor password alone will not lock
the system.

You must set the supervisor and user
passwords for the security panel to work.
