Your notebook has several security features that you can use to secure your
system from unauthorised access.
This chapter explains how to use each function, and what the bene

Please remember that in some cases, for example, forgetting your password,
you may be locked out and unable to access your data. Therefore,
please note the following information:
•
Make regular backups to external data carriers such as external hard
drives, CDs, DVDs or Blu-ray Discs.
•
Some security functions need you to choose passwords. Make a note
of the passwords and keep them in a safe place.
If you forget your passwords you will need to contact the our Service
Desk. Deletion or resetting of passwords is not covered by your warranty
and a charge will be made for assistance.
