Fujitsu LifeBook Setup Guide

LifeBook Security Panel

A unique feature of your LifeBook Series notebook is the Security
Application Panel that allows you to secure your notebook from
unauthorised use. The Security Application Panel also allows you to
launch applications with a touch of a button when your system is on. If
the security system is activated, upon starting your notebook or resuming
from suspend mode the security system requires you to enter a password
code using the buttons on the 5-button Security Application Panel. After
entering a correct password, your notebook resumes system operation.
