password. On switching on the notebook, a password prompt will appear on the
screen. The password is set up in the UEFI configuraton.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Please note that changes should only be carried out
here by very experienced users, as changes in the UEFI
setting may have implications for the stable operation
of the notebook.

your password, you have no way of deleting it. If this
happens, contact your service centre.
You can also use the Windows® security options to protect your data against

theft. This security lock (complete with cable) is usually available as an accessory in

leg. Plug the lock into the Kensington device and turn the key to lock it. Keep the
key in a safe place.
