Types of Security

Numerous security features protect the computer and the
information stored on it from unauthorized access.
Power-On Password
Prevents unauthorized use of the computer when it is turned
on, restarted, or resumed from Suspend or Hibernation.
Setup Password
Prevents unauthorized users from changing your computer
configuration through Computer Setup. May also be used by
network administrators to protect and access the configuration
of computers in a network.
QuickLock/QuickBlank
Clears the screen and disables the keyboard and other input
devices while the computer is running.
DriveLock
Prevents unauthorized use of the hard drive when the
computer is turned on, restarted, or resumed from Hibernation.
Stops an unauthorized user from using your hard drive.
Login Password (Windows NT only)
Used to log in to Windows NT. When combined with the
security features above, prevents unauthorized users from
accessing your hard drive. Windows NT has a multiple boot
menu, which can allow users to boot up Windows 3.1 or
Windows 95 and thereby bypass Windows NT security.
