Property and data protection
Your notebook enables you to protect your system and personal data in a number of ways against
unauthorised access. By combining these options, you can achieve maximum protection for your
system.
Security panel
a
a = Security panel
The security panel enables you to protect your notebook from unauthorised use with a hardware
password. When a Security Panel password is activated, the notebook will not start without the correct
insertion of a password. The password is entered before the BIOS is read out and the hardware
activated.
The password is requested from all suspend and resume modes. As a result, a security level is also
provided with the energy-saving mode activated.
The Security Lock function can be used when the notebook is started from the Resume mode, when
switched off and from the Save-to-Disk mode.
Password protection of Save-to-RAM Mode is also supported. This function can be deactivated in the
BIOS Setup. In the Security Panel on Resume menu the default value is set to Enable at the factory.
It is possible to assign a supervisor password and a user password.
i
If you have forgotten your user password, you can use the supervisor password to reset the
user password, and you can then enter a new user password.
If the security panel is active and you have forgotten both passwords, please contact your
our Hotline/Help Desk.
The supervisor password must be set so that the notebook can be unlocked again, and so that a new
user password can be assigned when the existing one has been forgotten.
! !
No passwords are assigned when the notebook is delivered. The passwords can be assigned with the
FJSECS.EXE (supervisor password) and FJSECU.EXE (user password) programmes. The supervisor
password and the user password can be assigned with up to 4 key entries. Multiple keys (1+2) can be
used together as one key entry.
i
The supervisor password has to be set before the user password can be assigned.
Assigning a supervisor password
The setup programme can be found under Start - AddOn Software.
Ê Enter the programme name FJSECS.EXE under Start - Run.
Ê Click on OK.
Ê Follow the instructions of the programme.
Assigning a user password
The setup programme can be found under Start - AddOn Software.
Ê Enter the programme name FJSECU.EXE under Start - Run.
Ê Click on OK.
Ê Follow the instructions of the programme.
Examples of possible password combinations
"1" + Enter
"1" + "2" + Enter
"1" + "2" + "3" + Enter
"1" + "2" + "3" + "4" + Enter
("1"+"2") + ("1" + "2" + "3" ) + ("1" + "2" + "3" + "4" ) + "1" + "2" + Enter
i
("1" + "2") means that the key "1" and "2" must be pressed simultaneously.
"Enter" refers to the Enter key of the Security Panel under the LCD screen.
Password error alarm
If a password is entered incorrectly three times, a one-minute alarm is triggered. If the correct
password is entered during the alarm, the notebook starts up normally.
After one minute the notebook stops the alarm. The user must press the Suspend/Resume key to start
or enter the Resume mode.
After pressing the Suspend/Resume button, the notebook is locked again; the user must now enter the
correct user password again. If the entry is correct, the notebook will start.
! !
Security functions under Windows
Under Windows you can activate a screen saver and protect it with a password. Only those users who
know the password can deactivate the screen saver and access any open files.
BIOS Setup security functions
The Security menu in BIOS Setup offers you various options for protecting your personal data against
unauthorised access. By combining these options, you can achieve maximum protection for your
system.
Preventing unauthorised BIOS Setup entry
You can activate this protection by setting a supervisor or a user password in the Security menu
(Set Supervisor Password/Set User Password).
Preventing unauthorised system access
You can activate this protection by setting a password in the Security menu. In addition, you must
select the entry Enabled in the Password on boot field.
Preventing unauthorised access to the hard disk drives
You activate this protection when you set a hard disk passwords in the Hard Disk Security submenu of
the Security menu. To do this, set the entry HDD password to Enabled and assign your password.
If set, the hard disk passwords are checked at each system startup, regardless of whether
Password On Boot is set to Enabled or Disabled.
Preventing unauthorised access to floppy disk drive
To activate this protection, select the value Supervisor for the Diskette access field in the Security menu.
Setting passwords
A user password can only be set if a supervisor password has been assigned. The supervisor or user
password prevents unauthorised callup of BIOS Setup. Only those who know one of the two passwords
can call BIOS Setup.
With the supervisor password you have access to all functions of the BIOS Setup. With the user
password you only have access to part of the functions of the BIOS Setup.
The user password also prevents unauthorised access to your notebook. With the user password you
can prevent booting of the operating system. Only those who know the user password can access the
system.
i
Passwords can be up to eight characters long. All alphanumerical characters can be used;
no differentiation is made between upper-case and lower-case.
Passwords are not displayed as they are entered.
If you have forgotten a password, contact your system administrator or contact our customer
service centre.

Access protection with SICRYPT PC Lock
With SICRYPT PC Lock you can protect your system from unauthorised booting. Then a system can
only be booted when the user inserts a valid SmartCard in the SmartCard reader and enters his/her
personal code number (PIN). To use PC Lock you require the following components:
• External or internal SmartCard reader
• PC Lock installed (see manual "BIOS Setup")
• SICRYPT SmartCard
i
There are two different SmartCards - the Admin SmartCard and the User SmartCard. These
differ in their memory capacity. In addition to the access permissions, you can also save
other safety options on the Admin SmartCard (e.g. fingerprints with the Smarty 2 software).
PC Lock controls access to your PC. When a SmartCard is initialised, permissions are assigned for
system access (system, setup, system+setup, admin). You can configure several SmartCards for one
system and initialise them with different permissions.
In this way users can be divided into user groups. Users of a user group use SmartCards with the
same permissions.
Additional instructions for PC Lock
i
Do not use PC Lock on systems controlled by tele-maintenance. If a SmartCard is
inserted and the User PIN must be entered, an automatic system boot is blocked. For
example, this is the case with "Wake On LAN", or when software is to be installed via
the network that requires a system reboot.
After you have initialised the first SmartCard, the entry PC-Lock can no longer be
deactivated (Disabled) in the BIOS Setup.
If you also want to use other security software in addition to PC Lock (e.g. SmartGuard
Pro), please read the documentation on your security software beforehand.
! !
PC Lock permissions
You can initialise a SmartCard with one of the following permissions:
System The system starts following entry of the user PIN. You can change the user PIN.
Setup You can open and change the BIOS Setup and change the user PIN.
System+Setup The system starts following entry of the user PIN. You can open and change the
BIOS Setup and change the user PIN.
Admin The system starts following entry of the user PIN. You can change the user PIN
an the administrator PIN, unlock locked SmartCards, open and change the BIOS
Setup and generate additional SmartCards for this system.
For instructions on how to install and operate SICRYPT PC Lock, and how to initialise SmartCards,
see the "BIOS Setup" manual.
