Passwords

Use the Password window to set a password to disable unauthorized access to the mobile computer.

Password

If the device is configured to connect to a network, use a strong (difficult to figure out) password to
help protect network security. Password cracking tools continue to improve and the computers used
to crack passwords are more powerful than ever.
If you forget the password, or if the mobile computer has become corrupted
and soft resetting doesn't work, you must perform a cold boot. Performing a
cold boot erases all files and data that you have created, and programs you
have installed.
