Using Your Motion Tablet Client
Using Windows Security
Passwords protect your Tablet Client from unauthorized access. Passwords
can create different levels of protection for your Tablet Client and its data.
• Operating system passwords — Secure the files on your Tablet Client
from other users
• BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) passwords — Secure the software
routines that test hardware at startup, start the operating system, and
support the transfer of data among hardware devices
• System password — Locks access to the BIOS set up
• Boot password — Locks access to the system
• Disk Drive (DD) password — Secures your data so the DD cannot
be accessed by removing it and connecting it to another Tablet
Client
Setting the Windows Operating System Password
Be aware that the following advanced procedures require you to make
changes in Windows BIOS. You should not perform this procedure unless
you are comfortable with the following cautionary information. You can set
up a Windows operating system password going to Start > Control Panel >
User Accounts > Create a new account... (Classic View)
Setting BIOS Passwords
CAUTION: We strongly recommend that you read
the information in this section carefully to understand
the implications of setting up a BIOS system
password. If you set up a BIOS System password
and enter it incorrectly several times, you will be locked out of
the system. If you become locked out, you can restart the
Tablet Client and retry the password again. You can restart the
Tablet Client and re-enter the password as many times as you
need to. However, if you are unsuccessful in entering the
password, you will not be able to access your Tablet Client.
If this happens, contact Motion Computing Technical Support
at www.motioncomputing.com/support for assistance. Have
your Tablet Client serial number available (on the label on the
back of the system).
The level of security you want on your Tablet Client helps determine what
BIOS password(s) you set.
