7 Security

Protecting the computer

Standard security features provided by the Windows operating system and the Windows Computer Setup

utility (BIOS, which runs under any operating system) can protect your personal settings and data from a

variety of risks.

NOTE: Security solutions are designed to act as deterrents. These deterrents may not prevent a product

from being mishandled or stolen.

NOTE: Before you send your computer for service, back up and delete condential les, and remove all

password settings.

NOTE: Some features listed in this chapter may not be available on your computer.

NOTE: Your computer supports Computrace, which is an online security-based tracking and recovery service

available in select regions. If the computer is stolen, Computrace can track the computer if the unauthorized

user accesses the Internet. You must purchase the software and subscribe to the service in order to use

Computrace. For information about ordering the Computrace software, go to http://www.hp.com.

You can use a pointing device (TouchPad, pointing stick, or USB mouse) or the keyboard to navigate and make selections in Computer

Setup.

NOTE: On tablets without keyboards, you can use the touch screen.

Using passwords

A password is a group of characters that you choose to secure your computer information. Several types of

passwords can be set, depending on how you want to control access to your information. Passwords can be

set in Windows or in Computer Setup, which is preinstalled on the computer.
