When an administrator password is set, you are prompted to enter a valid password each time you try to
enter the BIOS menu.
If both the power-on password and administrator password are set, you can enter either password.
However, you must use your administrator password to change any configuration settings.
• Hard disk password
Setting a hard disk password prevents unauthorized access to the data on the storage drive. When a hard
disk password is set, you are prompted to enter a valid password each time you try to access the storage
drive.
Notes:
– After you set a hard disk password, your data on the storage drive is protected even if the storage drive
is removed from one computer and installed in another.
– If the hard disk password is forgotten, there is no way to reset the password or recover data from the
storage drive.
Set, change, and remove a password
Before you start, print these instructions.
1. Restart the computer. When the logo screen is displayed, press F1 or Fn+F1.
2. Select
Security
.
3. Depending on the password type, select

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set, change, or remove a password.

You might want to record your password and store it in a safe place. Otherwise, if you forget the password,
you have to take your computer to a Lenovo reseller or a marketing representative to have the password
canceled. However, if you forget the hard disk password, Lenovo cannot reset your passwords or recover
data from the storage drive.
Use software security solutions
This section provides software solutions to secure your computer and information.
Use firewalls
A firewall can be hardware, software, or a combination of both depending on the level of security required.
Firewalls work on a set of rules to determine which inbound and outbound connections are authorized. If the
computer is preinstalled with a firewall program, it helps protect against computer Internet security threats,
unauthorized access, intrusions, and Internet attacks. It also protects your privacy. For more information
about how to use the firewall program, refer to the help system of your firewall program.
To use firewalls:
1. Go to Control Panel and view by large icons or small icons.
2. Click
Windows Defender Firewall
, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
Use antivirus programs
The computer is preinstalled with an antivirus program to help you guard against, detect, and eliminate
viruses.
