Using an instant password
An instant password secures your system with a single
keystroke. Use this feature when you leave your desk for a
few minutes and do not want to turn off the computer.

freezes the keyboard and TouchPad, and blanks the screen.
An instant password has no effect on an optional USB mouse
or trackball.
To unlock your system, press any key or touch the pointing
device and the Windows

Logon screen will appear. Select
your user name and enter your password, if any.
