40 - Securing your computer

SECURING YOUR COMPUTER

Your computer is a valuable investment that you need to

take care of. Learn how to protect and take care of your

computer.

Security features include hardware and software locks — a

security notch and passwords.

Using a computer security lock

The computer comes with a computer security slot for a

security lock.

Wrap a computer security lock cable around an immovable

object such as a table or handle of a locked drawer. Insert

the lock into the notch and turn the key to secure the lock.

Some keyless models are also available.

Using passwords

Passwords protect your computer from unauthorized

access. Setting these passwords creates several different

levels of protection for your computer and data:

• Supervisor Password prevents unauthorized entry into the

BIOS utility. Once set, you must enter this password to

gain access to the BIOS utility. See Setting passwords on

page 42.

• User Password secures your computer against

unauthorized use. Combine the use of this password with

password checkpoints on boot-up and resume from

Hibernation (if available) for maximum security.

• Password on Boot secures your computer against

unauthorized use. Combine the use of this password with

1 2 ... 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 ... 81 82
