Protect data against power loss (for selected models)

Protection) function to avoid data loss or damage. If your computer is not responding and you might have to
shut down your computer by pressing and holding the power button for several seconds. In this case, the
PLP function enables your computer data to be saved timely. However, there is no guarantee that all data is
saved in any situation. To check the type of your M.2 solid-state drive:
1. Restart the computer. When the logo screen is displayed, press F10 to enter the Lenovo diagnostics
window.
2. On the TOOLS tab, select SYSTEM INFORMATION ➙ STORAGE using the arrow keys.
3. Locate the Device Type section to check the information.

UEFI BIOS passwords

You can set passwords in UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) to
strengthen the security of your computer.

Password types

You can set a power-on password, supervisor password, system management password, or NVMe
password in UEFI BIOS to prevent unauthorized access to your computer. However, you are not prompted to
enter any UEFI BIOS password when your computer resumes from sleep mode.
Power-on password
If you set a power-on password, a window is displayed on the screen when you turn on the computer. Enter
the correct password to use the computer.
Supervisor password
The supervisor password protects the system information stored in UEFI BIOS. When entering the UEFI
BIOS menu, enter the correct supervisor password in the window prompted. You also can press Enter to
skip the password prompt. However, you cannot change most of the system configuration options in UEFI
BIOS.
If you have set both the supervisor password and power-on password, you can use the supervisor password
to access your computer when you turn it on. The supervisor password overrides the power-on password.
