LifeBook Security/
Application Panel
A unique feature of your LifeBook notebook is the
Security/Application Panel that allows you to secure your
notebook from unauthorized use. The Security/Applica-
tion Panel also allows you to launch applications with the
touch of a button when your system is on.
If the security system is activated, upon starting your
notebook or resuming from suspend mode the security
system requires you to enter a password code using the
buttons on the Security/Application Panel. After entering
a correct password, your notebook resumes system
operation.
(Figure 2-19)
SETTING UP YOUR
LIFEBOOK SECURITY PANEL
When you receive your LifeBook notebook, the security
panel application is pre-installed without any passwords.
The following sections provide detailed information on
your security panel, and how to set, change or remove
passwords.

PASSWORDS
The user and supervisor password may be set on this
notebook. A supervisor password is typically the same
for all LifeBook notebooks in a working group, office, or
company to allow for system management. Individual
LifeBook notebooks in a group environment should not
use a common password. A password consists of one to
five button strokes plus the enter button. A valid stroke
consists of pushing one or up to four buttons simulta-
neously. The following are valid button strokes:
n
Pushing [4] by itself
n
Pushing [2] and [3] at the same time
n
Pushing [1], [2], and [4] at the same time
n
Pushing [1], [2], [3], and [4] at the same time
The following are valid passwords. The numbers
within braces ({ }) are button strokes using more
than one button.
n
{[2]+[3]}, [1], [enter]
n
[4], [enter]
n
{[1]+[3]}, {[2]+[3]+[4]}, [1], [4], [2], [enter]
Setting Passwords
When shipped from the factory, no passwords are set.
You have a choice of having no password or setting a
supervisor and user password. You must set the super-
visor password before the user password.
Setting Supervisor Password
You must have set a supervisor password before setting
any user passwords. The supervisor password can bypass
the user password.
