Security 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. Then ■ To initiate QuickLock, press fn+f6. ■ To exit QuickLock, enter your Windows user password or Windows administrator password. Types of Passwords A password is a group of characters that you set to secure your computer information. Several types of passwords can be set, depending on how you want to control access to your information. Passwords can be set in Windows or in the non-Windows Setup Utility preinstalled on the computer. Ä CAUTION: To prevent being locked out of your computer, record each password you set. Because most passwords are not displayed as they are set, changed, or deleted, it is essential to write down each password immediately, and store it in a secure place. The following tables list commonly used Setup Utility and Windows passwords and describe their functions. Hardware and Software Guide 6-3
