Passwords protect your Tablet PC from unauthorized access. Passwords can
create different levels of protection for your Tablet PC and its data.

Operating system passwords — Secure the files on your Tablet PC from
other users

BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) passwords — Secure the software
routines that test hardware at startup, start the operating system, and sup-
port the transfer of data among hardware devices

System password — Locks access to the BIOS setup

• Boot password — Locks access to the system
• HDD (Hard Disk Drive) password — Secures your data so the Hard

Disk Drive cannot be accessed by removing it and connecting it to
another Tablet PC

Setting the Windows Operating System Password

You can set up a Windows operating system password going to
Start>Control Panel>User Accounts>Create a new account... (Classic View).

Setting BIOS Passwords

CAUTION: We strongly recommend that you read the information in this
section carefully to understand the implications of setting up a BIOS system
password. If you set up a BIOS System password and enter it incorrectly

several times, you will be locked out of the system. If you become locked out, you
can restart the Tablet PC and retry the password again. You can restart the Tablet PC
and re-enter the password as many times as you need to. However, if you are
unsuccessful in entering the password, you will not be able to access your Tablet PC.
