QuickLock/QuickBlank
7.4.1 QuickLock/QuickBlank
The QuickLock and QuickBlank features can disable the keyboard and mouse interfaces and blank the
screen while an application is open. The feature is enabled with a power-on password. If QuickBlank is
also enabled, the screen blanks. When this feature is used, the computer is secure until you enter the
power-on password.
Enabling QuickLock/QuickBlank
QuickLock and QuickBlank are enabled through Security Management. The keyboard and mouse
interface can be disabled and the screen blanked from within an application. Entering a QuickLock key
combination (Ctrl+Alt+L) disables the keyboard and the mouse interface. If QuickBlank is not activated,
the application remains in view on the screen, but it cannot be accessed.
To re-enable the input device interface and access the application, the user must enter the power-on
password that the user established in Security Management.
