Power-On Password

Tip
If you have already specified a
power-on password, your
Notebook will prompt you for
the password.
To use the security slot found on
the back of your Notebook,
complete the following steps:
1. Insert a locking device (such as
a Kensington lock) into the
security slot.
2. Turn the locking device clockwise 90 degrees.
To remove the locking device, turn the locking device
counter-clockwise 90 degrees and remove the device
from the slot.
You can set a power-on password that
will secure the information you store
on the hard disk. When turning on your
Notebook, this password must be entered
before you can access your files.
