You can prevent unauthorized access to your Notebook by
setting a User Password. If a User Password is set, you will
be prompted for the password each time the Notebook is
started. The User Password is set in the BIOS (page 68).
Attention: It is important to record your pass-
word in a safe place. If you forget your password,
you will not be able to cancel it or access the
software on your Notebook. If this happens, you
will need to contact your service center.

SING A SAFETY LOCK
You can prevent theft by using a special type of lock called a
Kensington lock, which can be bought at your local retailer.
A Kensington lock has a cable that wraps around a stationary
object and a "T" shaped end that inserts into the Kensington
lock port on your Notebook. Either a key or combination dial
is used to secure the lock in place.
