To lock your computer
To protect against unauthorized access or unauthorized undocking while your computer
is running, lock the computer before leaving it unattended, or set up a screen saver with a
password in Control Panel Display.
• Press the HP Quick Lock button—the five One-Touch buttons are located above the
main keyboard.
–or–
Press CTRL+ALT+DEL and click Lock Computer. This option may not be available
in all configurations.
To unlock the computer, follow your normal logon steps.
To attach a security cable
Your notebook includes a built-in connector you can use to secure the notebook with a
cable and a lock (such as the Kensington MicroSaver lock system, available at many
computer stores).
1. Wrap the cable around a secure object, such as a table leg.
2. Loop the cable to create a slip knot around the stationary object, and make sure it
can't slip off.
