Caring for the Computer 7-3
Using the Password
The power-on password protects your computer against unauthorized use. If the
password is set, the prompt requesting for the password appears on the screen
whenever the computer is turned on.
The password is set via the BIOS Setup program. See “Security Menu” in
Chapter 5 for instructions.
Using the Cable Lock
You can use a Kensington-type cable lock to protect your computer against
theft. The cable lock is available in most computer stores.
To use the lock, loop the lock cable around a stationary object such as a table.
Insert the lock to the Kensington lock hole and turn the key to secure the lock.
Store the key in a safe place.
