SECURITY MENU – SETTING THE SECURITY FEATURES
The Security menu allows you to set up the data security features of your notebook to fit operating needs and to view
the current data security configuration. (See Navigating through the Setup Utility on page 2 for more information.)
The following tables show the names of the menu fields for the Security Menu and its submenus, all the options for
each field, the default settings and a description of the field's function and any special information needed to help
understand the field's use. The default condition is no passwords required and no write protection.
Remember your passwords! If you set and forget your User and Master hard disk passwords, Fujitsu
Computer Systems will not be able to reset it. You may lose data and have to replace your system board or
hard disk drive.
WARNING. VERY IMPORTANT if your hard disk drive is protected using a Full Disk Encryption (FDE)
"engine". FDE encrypts all data as it is written to the hard drive. When data is retrieved from the hard
drive, it is decrypted by the same engine.
FDE, all data and applications on the hard drive will remain encrypted and will effectively be lost.
sure to remember your hard disk password.
Entering a password incorrectly 3 times in a row causes the keyboard and mouse to be locked out and
[System Disabled] to be displayed. If this occurs, restart the computer by turning off and on the power
with the power switch and use the correct password on reboot.
If you make an error when re-entering the password a Warning will be displayed. To try again press
[Enter], then retype the password, or press [Esc] to abort the password process.
If the Security Panel on Resume is Enabled and the Password on Boot is Disabled you will not have to
type your password upon resuming the system from the Suspend or Save-to-Disk modes. Power Man-
agement Security will work only if Password boot is enabled.
