Securityfunctions
Your notebook has a variety of security functions that you can use to protect your
system and your personal data from unauthorized access.
This chapter explains how to use these functions, and what the benefits are.
Please remember that in some cases, for example, forgetting your password,
you may be locked out of the system and unable to access your data.
Therefore, please note the following information:
• Make regular backups to external optical disks such as external hard
drives, CDs, DVDs or Blu-ray Discs.
• Some security functions need you to choose passwords. Make a note
of the passwords and keep them in a safe place.
If you forget your passwords you will need to contact our Service Desk.
Deletion or resetting of passwords are not covered by your warranty
and a charge will be made for assistance.
In the BIOS setup utility menu Security, if you alter the Password Severity setting from
its delivery status of Strong to Stringent, the Fujitsu Service Desk will no longer be able
to reset the password. The system may then remain unusuable indefinitely.
Fujitsu therefore recommends always setting up a Supervisor password
with the setting of Password Severity = Strong.
Configuring the fingerprint sensor
Fingerprintsensor Fingerprintsensor
Whether your device has a fingerprint sensor or not depends on the
device configuration which you ordered.
The ordered configuration cannot be changed, i.e. A fingerprint sensor
cannot be retrofitted. Furthermore, only one configuration option can be
ordered, a fingerprint sensor or a palm vein scanner.
The fingerprint sensor can record the image of a fingerprint. With additional fingerprint
software, this image can be processed and used instead of a password.
Work Place Protect can be found under Fujitsu Bonus Apps. You will find the
shortcut under Start - Fujitsu Extras - Application. Double-click on the shortcut. A
window with a selection of apps appears. Select Work Place Protect and install the
app. You can also find the software on the Fujitsu Support site.
