Use passwords

This section introduces types of passwords in UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) BIOS (Basic

Input/Output System) and how to set, change, and remove a password.

Password types

You can set a power-on password, supervisor password, system management password, or hard disk

password in UEFI BIOS 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

If you set a power-on password, a window is displayed on the screen when you turn on the computer. Enter

the correct password to use the computer.

Supervisor password

The supervisor password protects the system information stored in UEFI BIOS. When entering the UEFI

BIOS menu, enter the correct supervisor password in the window prompted. You also can press Enter to

skip the password prompt. However, you cannot change most of the system configuration options in UEFI

BIOS.

If you have set both the supervisor password and power-on password, you can use the supervisor password

to access your computer when you turn it on. The supervisor password overrides the power-on password.

System management password

The system management password can also protect the system information stored in UEFI BIOS like a

supervisor password, but it has lower authority by default. The system management password can be set

through the UEFI BIOS menu or through Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) with the Lenovo

client-management interface.

You can enable the system management password to have the same authority as the supervisor password

to control security related features. To customize the authority of the system management password through

the UEFI BIOS menu:

1. Enter the UEFI BIOS menu. See “Enter the UEFI BIOS menu” on page 37.

Note: When you are prompted to enter the password, enter the correct supervisor password if a

supervisor password has been set, or enter the correct system management password if no supervisor

password has been set. Otherwise, you cannot change the configurations in the following steps.

2. Select Security ➙ Password ➙ System Management Password Access Control.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

If you have set both the supervisor password and the system management password, the supervisor

password overrides the system management password. If you have set both the system management

password and the power-on password, the system management password overrides the power-on

password.

Hard disk passwords

The hard disk password prevents unauthorized access to the data on the storage drive. When a hard disk

password is set, you are prompted to type a correct password each time you try to access the storage drive.

To set the hard disk password, select one of the following types:

• User hard disk password only

When a user hard disk password is set without a master hard disk password, the user must enter the user

hard disk password to access files and applications on the storage drive.

• Master hard disk password + User hard disk password

The master hard disk password is set and used by a system administrator. It enables the administrator to

access any storage drive in a system or any computer connected in the same network. The administrator

can also assign a user hard disk password for each computer in the network. The user of the computer

can change the user hard disk password as desired, but only the administrator can remove the user hard

disk password.

When prompted to enter a hard disk password, press F1 to switch between the master hard disk password

and user hard disk password.

Note: The hard disk password is not available in the following situations:

• A Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Opal-compliant storage drive and a TCG Opal management software

program are installed in the computer, and the TCG Opal management software program is activated.

• An eDrive storage drive is installed in the computer preinstalled with the Windows operating system.

Service and upgrades

Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the Customer Support Center or

your documentation. Only use a Service Provider who is approved to repair your particular product.

Note: Some computer parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. Upgrades typically are referred

to as options. Replacement parts approved for customer installation are referred to as Customer

Replaceable Units, or CRUs. Lenovo provides documentation with instructions when it is appropriate for

customers to install options or replace CRUs. You must closely follow all instructions when installing or

replacing parts. The Off state of a power indicator does not necessarily mean that voltage levels inside a

product are zero. Before you remove the covers from a product equipped with a power cord, always ensure

that the power is turned off and that the product is unplugged from any power source. If you have any

questions or concerns, contact the Customer Support Center.

Although there are no moving parts in your computer after the power cord has been disconnected, the

following warnings are required for your safety.

Keep fingers and other parts of your body away from hazardous, moving parts. If you suffer an injury, seek

medical care immediately.

Do not touch hot surface of hot components inside the computer. During operation, some components

become hot enough to burn the skin. Before you open the computer cover, turn off the computer, disconnect

power, and wait approximately 10 minutes for the components to cool.

After replacing a CRU, reinstall all protective covers, including the computer cover, before connecting power

and operating the computer. This action is important to help prevent unexpected electrical shock and help

ensure the containment of an unexpected fire that could happen under extremely rare conditions.

60 L13 Gen 2, L13 Yoga Gen 2, S2 Gen 6, and S2 Yoga Gen 6 User Guide

Basic maintenance tips

Here are some basic points about keeping your computer functioning properly:

• If possible, place your computer in a well-ventilated and dry area without direct exposure to sunshine.

• Store packing materials safely out of the reach of children to prevent the risk of suffocation from plastic

bags.

• Keep your computer away from magnets, activated cellular phones, electrical appliances, or speakers

(more than 13 cm or 5 inches).

• Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperatures (below 5°C/41°F or above 35°C/95°F).

• Avoid placing any objects (including paper) between the display and the keyboard or the palm rest.

• Computer display might be designed to be opened and used at a certain angle. Do not open the display

with force. Otherwise, the computer hinge might get damaged.

• Do not turn your computer over when the ac power adapter is plugged in, otherwise, it could break the

adapter plug.

• Before moving your computer, be sure to remove any media, turn off attached devices, and disconnect

cords and cables.

• When picking up your open computer, hold it by the bottom. Do not pick up or hold your computer by the

display.

• Only an authorized Lenovo repair technician should disassemble and repair your computer.

• Do not modify or tape the latches to keep the display open or closed.

• Avoid directly exposing your computer and peripherals to the air from an appliance that can produce

negative ions. Wherever possible, ground your computer to facilitate safe electrostatic discharge.

Clean your computer

It is a good practice to clean your computer periodically to protect the surfaces and ensure trouble-free

operation.

Clean the computer cover: Wipe it with a lint-free cloth dampened in mild soap and water. Avoid applying

liquids directly to the cover.

Clean the keyboard: Wipe the keys one by one with a lint-free cloth dampened in mild soap and water. If

you wipe several keys at a time, the cloth might hook onto an adjacent key and possibly damage it. Avoid

spraying cleaner directly onto the keyboard. To remove any crumbs or dust from beneath the keys, you can

use a camera blower with a brush or use cool air from a hair dryer.

Clean the computer screen: Scratches, oil, dust, chemicals, and ultraviolet light can affect the performance

of your computer screen. Use a dry, soft lint-free cloth to wipe the screen gently. If you see a scratchlike

mark on your screen, it might be a stain. Wipe or dust the stain gently with a soft, dry cloth. If the stain

remains, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with water or eyeglass cleaner, but do not apply liquids directly to your

computer screen. Ensure that the computer screen is dry before closing it.

Ergonomic information

Good ergonomic practice is important to get the most from your personal computer and to avoid discomfort.

Arrange your workplace and the equipment you use to suit your individual needs and the kind of work that

you perform. In addition, use healthy work habits to maximize your performance and comfort when using

your computer.

Working in the virtual office might mean adapting to frequent changes in your environment. Adapting to the

surrounding light sources, active seating, and the placement of your computer hardware, can help you

improve your performance and achieve greater comfort.

This example shows someone in a conventional setting. Even when not in such a setting, you can follow

many of these tips. Develop good habits, and they will serve you well.

General posture: Make minor modifications in your working posture to deter the onset of discomfort caused

by long periods of working in the same position. Frequent short breaks from your work also help to prevent

minor discomfort associated with your working posture.

Display: Position the display to maintain a comfortable viewing distance of 510 mm to 760 mm (20 inches to

30 inches). Avoid glare or reflections on the display from overhead lighting or outside sources of light. Keep

the display screen clean and set the brightness to levels that enable you to see the screen clearly. Press the

brightness control keys to adjust display brightness.

Head position: Keep your head and neck in a comfortable and neutral (vertical, or upright) position.

Chair: Use a chair that gives you good back support and seat height adjustment. Use chair adjustments to

best suit your comfort posture.

Arm and hand position: If available, use chair arm rests or an area on your working surface to provide

weight support for your arms. Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed and neutral (horizontal)

position. Type with a soft touch without pounding the keys.

Leg position: Keep your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest.

What if you are traveling?

It might not be possible to observe the best ergonomic practices when you are using your computer while on

the move or in a casual setting. Regardless of the setting, try to observe as many of the tips as possible.

Sitting properly and using adequate lighting, for example, helps you maintain desirable levels of comfort and

performance. If your work area is not in an office setting, ensure to take special note of employing active

sitting and taking work breaks. Many product solutions are available to help you modify and expand your

computer to best suit your needs. You can find some of these options at https://www.lenovo.com/accessories.

Explore your options for docking solutions and external products that provide the adjustability and features

that you want.

Questions about vision?

The visual display screens of notebook computers are designed to meet the highest standards. These visual

display screens provide you with clear, crisp images and large, bright displays that are easy to see, yet easy

on the eyes. Any concentrated and sustained visual activity can be tiring. If you have questions on eye

fatigue or visual discomfort, consult a vision-care specialist for advice.
