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.
