Setting a BIOS password

You can use a BIOS password to secure the basic input/output system of the tablet.

WARNING:

Read this section carefully to understand the implications of creating a BIOS

system password. If you forget the password, you will not be able to access the BIOS. If this

happens, contact Motion Computing Technical Support at

www.motioncomputing.com/support

. Have the serial number ready. You can find the serial

number in System Properties.

Finding the serial number:

1. In Control Panel, tap the System and Security category, then tap System.

2. In the System section of the page, view the Model.

The serial number is prefixed with “S/N=.”

To set a BIOS password

1. Start the system. When the Motion Computing splash screen appears, tap the screen

with the pen. On the TrustedCore menu, tap Password Options. If you miss the splash

screen, restart the computer and try again.

2. In the Password Options window, enter a password using the on-screen keyboard. Enter

the password again to confirm it.

3. Do one of the following:

If you want to require a password every time the computer starts, select the Enable

password on boot option.

If you want to require a password only to start the BIOS, clear the Enable password

on boot option.

4. Tap OK.

To clear the password, leave the password fields blank, then tap OK.
