Security Preferences in the
Setup
Utility
Most security preferences are set in Setup utility. Because the
Setup utility is a non-Windows utility, it does not support the
pointing devices on your notebook. When using the Setup utility,
you must use the keys on your notebook to navigate and make
selections.
For more details, refer to “Setup Utility” in Chapter 8.
QuickLock
The fn+f6 hotkey initiates the operating system QuickLock
security feature.
QuickLock protects your notebook by displaying the operating
system log-on screen. While the log-on screen is displayed, the
notebook cannot be accessed until a Windows user password or
Windows administrator password is entered.
Before you can use the QuickLock feature, you must set a
Windows user password or Windows administrator password. For
instructions, refer to the Help and Support Center by selecting
Start > Help and Support.
To initiate QuickLock, press fn+f6.
To exit QuickLock, enter your Windows user password or
Windows administrator password.
