Security functions
Your notebook has several security features that you can use to secure your system from
unauthorised access.
This chapter explains how to use each function, and what the benefits are.
Please remember that in some cases, for example, forgetting your password, you may be
locked out and unable to access your data. Therefore, please note the following hints:
!
● Make regular backups to external storage devices such as external hard drives, CD
or DVD disks.
● Some security functions need you to choose passwords. Make a note of the
passwords and keep them in a safe place.
If you forget your passwords you will need to contact the help desk. Passwords are not
covered by your warranty and a charge will be made for assistance.
