Your notebook has a variety of security functions that you can use to protect your
system and your personal data from unauthorized access.
This chapter explains how to use these functions, and what the benefits are.
Please remember that in some cases, for example, forgetting your password,
you may be locked out of the system and unable to access you r d ata.
Therefore, please note the following information:
• Make regular backups to external optical disks such as external hard
drives, CDs, DVDs or Blu-ray D iscs.
• Some security functio
ns need you to choose passwords. Make a note
of the passwords and ke
ep them in a safe place.
If you forget your passwords you will need to contact our Service Desk.
Deletion or resetting of passwords are not covered by your warranty
and a charge will be made for assistance.
In the BIOS setup utility menu Security, if you alter the Password Severity setting from
its delivery status of Strong to Stringent, the Fujitsu Service Desk will no longer be able
to reset the password. The system may then remain unusuable indefinitely.
Fujitsu the refore recommen ds always setting up a Supe rvisor password
with the setting of Password Severity = Strong.
