NEC L320 - Manual (Page 53)

3-10 Using the BIOS Setup Utility
To establish password protection for resuming from Standby or Hibernation modes you
must do the following:
T Set a Windows password in Control Panel, Password Properties, Change
Passwords.
T Enable the option “Prompt for password when the computer goes off standby” in
Control Panel, Power Management Properties, Advanced.
FingerPrint Protection
Your system also allows you to establish system protection using an external
fingerprint reader.
Your NEC Versa supports FingerPrint protection for system security on several levels.
Keep in mind that you must set up supervisor access before the BIOS Setup utility
allows you to set up user access.
Once you set up supervisor access, you must enter it before you can enter BIOS Setup,
access the system at startup, or resume from Suspend or Save-to-File, depending on
your configuration selection.
Hard Disk Drive Passwords
Your NEC Versa allows you to establish password protection for the internal hard disk
drive. Hard disk drive (HDD) password protection restricts access to the drive, only if
the drive is removed from your NEC Versa and installed in another system. You are not
prompted to enter your hard disk drive passwords while the drive remains in your
current system.
The HDD passwords are written to the system BIOS and to the hard disk drive to
ensure that the password protection travels with the drive when moved from system to
system.
