Locking The Computer; Using Windows Logon; Logging On To Windows With Credential Manager - HP Compaq 2210b User Manual

Locking the computer

This feature is available if you log on to Windows using Credential Manager. To secure your computer
when you are away from your desk, use the Lock Workstation feature. This prevents unauthorized users
from gaining access to your computer. Only you and members of the administrators group on your
computer can unlock it.
NOTE:
See "Example 1—Using the "Advanced Settings" page to allow Windows logon from Credential
Manager on page
For added security, you can configure the Lock Workstation feature to require a Java Card,
biometric reader, or token to unlock the computer. For more information, see
Credential Manager settings on page
