E8210.book Page 21 Friday, March 10, 2006 4:33 PM Setting User Password 1 Go to the Start menu. 2. Click on Programs. 3. Click on Security Panel Application and Set User Password. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the user password. You may change or remove the supervisor or user password by repeating the steps defined above. OPERATING YOUR LIFEBOOK SECURITY/APPLICATION PANEL The security lock feature is in effect both when the system resumes from Off or suspend state. You always need to push the Suspend /Resume button to input the user password. Your system will not begin the boot sequence without entering your supervisor/user password. From Off State 1. Turn on your system. 2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the pass- word and press [Enter] button. For example, if the password is 22222, press button number [2] five times and press [Enter] button. The notebook will boot to normal operation. From Suspend State 1. Press your Power/Suspend/Resume button. 2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the pass- word and press [Enter] button. The notebook should resume normal operation. Incorrect Password Entry If an invalid supervisor or user password is entered three times in succession, the system will "beep" for about one minute. If a valid password is entered within a minute (while system beeps), the beeping will stop and the notebook will resume normal operation. If no password (or an invalid one) is entered while the system beeps, the system will return to its previous locked state (suspend or off) and the Security Indicator will go off. To reactivate the notebook after a password failure, you must press the Power/Suspend/Resume button, then enter a correct password. Remember the user password you specified on the Security Panel Application. If you forget the password you will not be able to use your computer. The supervisor password can override the user password. Getting to Know Your LifeBook PRECAUTIONS Opening and Closing the Cover Closing the cover automatically places the notebook into suspend mode. Opening the cover does not automatically place the notebook into normal operation. Instead, you must enter the proper security password after pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button. Low Battery Operations If your LifeBook notebook has low battery, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button only turns on the Security Indicator. Your notebook does not unlock, the Security Indicator turns off after one minute. To resume normal operation, first attach a power supply to the notebook. Then you may unlock the notebook. UNINSTALLING THE SECURITY PANEL APPLICATION You have two options when uninstalling the security panel application: ■ Uninstall the security panel application software. This will disable all security feature. ■ Uninstall the security panel application with password still active. This will not allow any changes to the password. Uninstalling the Security Panel Application Remove passwords when User wants no password protection whatsoever and doesn't want to give anybody the utility to set a password on their computer. In this case, if passwords (supervisor, user, or both) are set, the passwords must first be cleared BEFORE removing the application. To clear passwords, follow same procedure in "Setting Passwords" except this time, select [Remove], enter current password then click [Next]. When asked to confirm, select [Yes]. Removing Security Panel Application with Passwords Still Active Using this feature will not allow any changes to the password. Removing the applications does not remove the password. It simply removes the utility to change/add/remove passwords. To change your password you must reinstall the application. User: 1. Go to Start Menu, Click on Control Panel. 2. Open Add/Remove Programs Properties in the Control Panel. 3. Select the Security Panel Application in the list, and click Add/Remove. 4. When the Confirm File Deletion box appears, click Yes. 21
