Smart Cover Lock
✎
The Smart Cover Lock is an optional feature and is available on select
models only.
The Smart Cover Lock is a software-controllable cover lock,
controlled by the setup password. This lock prevents unauthorized
access to the internal components. The computer ships with the Smart
Cover Lock in the unlocked position. For more information about
locking the Smart Cover Lock, refer to the Desktop Management
guide.
Using the Smart Cover FailSafe Key
If you enable the Smart Cover Lock and cannot enter your password
to disable the lock, you will need a Smart Cover FailSafe Key to open
the computer cover. You will need the key in any of the following
circumstances:
■ Power outage
■ Startup failure
■ PC component (for example, processor or power supply) failure
■ Forgotten password
Ä
CAUTION: The Smart Cover FailSafe Key is a specialized tool available
from Compaq. Be prepared; order this key before you need one.
To obtain a FailSafe Key:
■ Contact your authorized Compaq reseller or service provider.
■ Refer to the Compaq Web site (www.compaq.com) for ordering
information.
■ Call the appropriate number listed in the warranty.
