Security functions

Securityfunctions
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 benefits are.
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.
If you change the Password Severity setting from Strong to Stringent in the Security
BIOS Setup Utility menu, the Fujitsu Service Desk can no longer reset the password.
In this case, the system can remain permanently unusable.
Therefore, Fujitsu recommends to generally set up a supervisor password
with the setting Password Severity = Strong.

Using the Security Lock

Your device comes with a Security Lock mechanism for the Kensington Lock Cable. You
can use the Kensington Lock Cable, a sturdy steel cable, to help protect your notebook
from theft. The Kensington Lock Cable is available as an accessory.
Fujitsu recommends the use of a combination lock.
