Securing your computer

Security features include hardware and software locks — a security notch and
password.

Security notch

A security notch located on the rear panel of the computer lets you connect a
Kensington-compatible computer security lock.
Wrap a computer security lock cable around an immovable object such as a table
or locked drawer handle. Insert the lock into the notch and turn the key to secure
the lock. Some keyless models are also available.

Passwords

Passwords protect your computer from unauthorized access. When set, no one can
access the computer without entering the correct password.
There are two types of passwords you can set:
• Supervisor Password secures your computer against unauthorized entry to
critical parameters in the BIOS Utility.
• User Password secures your computer against unauthorized use, and allows
limited access to the BIOS Utility.
