Lock the computer
Note: You are responsible for evaluating, selecting, and implementing the locking device and security
feature. Lenovo makes no comments, judgments, or warranties about the function, quality, or performance
of the locking device and security feature. You can purchase computer locks from Lenovo.
Kensington-style cable lock
Lock your computer to a desk, table, or other fixtures through a Kensington-style cable lock.
Log in to your computer securely
This section provides secure ways to log in to your computer with a password, a fingerprint, or your face.
Use passwords
Password types
You can set the following passwords in UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) BIOS (Basic Input/
Output System) 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
When a power-on password is set, you are prompted to enter a valid password each time the computer is
turned on. The computer cannot be used until the valid password is entered.
• Administrator password
Setting an administrator password deters unauthorized users from changing configuration settings. If you
are responsible for maintaining the configuration settings of several computers, you might want to set an
administrator password.
© Copyright Lenovo 2019 17
When an administrator password is set, you are prompted to enter a valid password each time you try to
enter the BIOS menu.
If both the power-on password and administrator password are set, you can enter either password.
However, you must use your administrator password to change any configuration settings.
• Hard disk password
Setting a hard disk password prevents unauthorized access to the data on the storage drive. When a hard
disk password is set, you are prompted to enter a valid password each time you try to access the storage
drive.
Notes:
– After you set a hard disk password, your data on the storage drive is protected even if the storage drive
is removed from one computer and installed in another.
– If the hard disk password is forgotten, there is no way to reset the password or recover data from the
storage drive.
Set, change, and remove a password
Before you start, print these instructions.
1. Restart the computer. When the logo screen is displayed, press F1 or Fn+F1.
2. Select Security.
3. Depending on the password type, select Set Power-On Password, Set Administrator Password, or
Hard Disk Password and press Enter.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set, change, or remove a password.
5. Press F10 or Fn+F10 to save the changes and exit.
You might want to record your password and store it in a safe place. Otherwise, if you forget the password,
you have to take your computer to a Lenovo reseller or a marketing representative to have the password
canceled. However, if you forget the hard disk password, Lenovo cannot reset your passwords or recover
data from the storage drive.
Use software security solutions
This section provides software solutions to secure your computer and information.
Use firewalls
A firewall can be hardware, software, or a combination of both depending on the level of security required.
Firewalls work on a set of rules to determine which inbound and outbound connections are authorized. If the
computer is preinstalled with a firewall program, it helps protect against computer Internet security threats,
unauthorized access, intrusions, and Internet attacks. It also protects your privacy. For more information
about how to use the firewall program, refer to the help system of your firewall program.
To use firewalls:
1. Go to Control Panel and view by large icons or small icons.
2. Click Windows Defender Firewall, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
Use antivirus programs
The computer is preinstalled with an antivirus program to help you guard against, detect, and eliminate
viruses.
18
M630e User Guide
Lenovo provides a full version of antivirus software on the computer with a free 30-day subscription. After 30
days, you must renew the license to continue receiving the antivirus software updates.
Note: Virus definition files must be kept up-to-date to guard against new viruses.
For more information about how to use your antivirus software, refer to the help system of your antivirus
software.
Use computrace Agent software embedded in firmware
The Computrace Agent software is an IT asset management and computer theft recovery solution. The
software detects if changes have been made on the computer, such as hardware, software, or the computer
call-in location. You might have to purchase a subscription to activate the Computrace Agent software.
Use BIOS security solutions
This section provides BIOS solutions to secure your computer and information.
Erase all storage drive data
It is recommended that you erase all storage drive data before recycling a storage drive or the computer.
To erase all storage drive data:
1. Set a hard disk password for the storage drive you will recycle. See “Use passwords” on page 17.
2. Restart the computer. When the logo screen is displayed, press F1 or Fn+F1.
3. Select Security ➙ Hard Disk Password ➙ Security Erase HDD Data and press Enter.
4. Select the storage drive you will recycle and press Enter.
5. A message is displayed, prompting you to confirm the operation. Select Yes and press Enter. The
erasing process begins.
Note: During the erasing process, the power button and the keyboard are disabled.
6. After the erasing process is completed, a message is displayed, prompting you to reset the system.
Select Continue.
Note: Depending on the storage drive capacity, the erasing process will take half an hour to three hours.
7. After the resetting process is completed, one of the following will happen:
• If the data on the system storage drive is erased, you will be prompted that no operating system is
available.
• If the data on the non-system storage drive is erased, the computer restarts automatically.
Use Intel BIOS guard
The BIOS guard module cryptographically verifies all the BIOS updates to the system BIOS flash. Therefore,
the malware is blocked from attacking the BIOS.
Use Smart USB Protection
The Smart USB Protection function is a security function that helps prevent data from being copied from the
computer to USB storage devices connected to the computer. You can set the Smart USB Protection
function to one of the following modes:
• Disabled (default setting): You can use the USB storage devices without limitation.
Chapter 4. Secure your computer and information 19
