Securing your computer

Your computer features hardware and software security solutions, in

the form of a slot for a Kensington lock and a password facility.

Security slot

A slot for a Kensington slot enables you to physically protect your

computer from theft. Use this feature as follows:

• Wrap a security lock cable around a heavy or immoveable object,

such as a drawer handle on a file cabinet, or a table leg.

• Insert the lock into the slot on the computer, turn it 90°, and then

lock it in place.

Passwords

You can protect your computer from unauthorized access by setting

Windows password protection. The user must enter the password

before beginning a Windows session.

• First, open User Accounts in Windows Control Panel and select

your account.

• Click Create a Password, and then set your desired password.

• Click Performance and Maintenance, Power Options in Control

Panel.

• On the Advanced tab, select the option to prompt for a password

when your computer resumes from standby.

To cancel password protection, reset the password with a blank

password.
