Using passwords

You can set a supervisor password to prevent your tablet from unauthorized use.
Supervisor password protects the system information stored in ThinkPad Tablet Setup. Without the
supervisor password, no one can change the configuration of the tablet.
The system administrator can set the same supervisor password on many tablets to make administration
easier. It is recommended that you record your password and store it in a safe place. If you forget your
supervisor password, Lenovo cannot reset your password. You must take your tablet to a Lenovo reseller or
a Lenovo marketing representative to have the system board replaced. Proof of purchase is required, and a
fee will be charged for parts and service.
Setting, changing, or removing a supervisor password
Only a system administrator can set, change, or remove a supervisor password.
To set, change, or remove a supervisor password, do the following:
1. Print these instructions.
2. Save all open files, and exit all applications.
