QuickLock
QuickLock protects your computer by displaying the Windows
operating system Log On window. While the Log On window is
displayed, the computer cannot be accessed until a Windows user
password or Windows administrator password is entered.
Before you can use the QuickLock feature, you must set a
Windows user password or Windows administrator password. To
set a Windows password, refer to the Help and Support Center by
selecting Start > Help and Support.
Then
• To initiate QuickLock, press fn+f6.
• To exit QuickLock, enter your Windows user password or
Windows administrator password.
Setup Utility and Windows Passwords
Most security features use passwords. Whenever you set a
password, write down the password and store it in a secure
location away fiom the computer.
Setup utility security features and Windows operating system
security features function independently. For example, a device
disabled in the Setup utility cannot be enabled in Windows. Note
the following password considerations:
• Setup utiliO' passwords are set in the Setup utility.
• Windows passwords are set in the Windows operating system.
If you _brget the power-on password and the administrator
password set in the Setup utility, you cannot start up the
computer or restore fiom hibernation. Call Customer Care
or your service partner _br additional intbrmation.
