You can attach a mechanical lock to your computer to prevent it from being removed without your permission.

Attach a mechanical lock to the keyhole of the computer; then secure the chain on the lock to a stationary

object. Refer to the instructions shipped with the mechanical lock.

Note: You are responsible for evaluating, selecting, and implementing the locking devices and security

features. Lenovo makes no comments, judgments, or warranties about the function, quality, or performance

of locking devices and security features.

Using passwords helps prevent your computer from being used by others. Once you set a password and

enable it, a prompt appears on the screen each time you power on the computer. Enter your password at the

prompt. The computer cannot be used unless you enter the correct password.

Note: This password can be a combination of one to seven alphanumeric characters.

For more information about how to set the password, refer to the online help information system on the

right screen of the BIOS.

Note: To enter the BIOS, press F1 when the Lenovo logo is displayed on the screen while the computer is

starting up.

With the fingerprint reader, in addition to registering fingerprint information and using it as a password for

Windows operating system or Web site logon, you also can launch applications quickly and encrypt private

data with your fingerprint to secure your computer. For more information, refer to the online help information

system of the fingerprint software.
