Popular with college students, professionals and other mobile laptop users, laptop security cables protect laptops when used in public spaces. The laptop combination locks fit into a special port on your laptop or netbook called a "Kensington" port or may fit in a standard port such as a VGA port. Each user establishes a unique combination for the lock. By wrapping the attached cable around a sturdy, large object and through the loop at the end of the security cable, you can secure the laptop.
Step 1
Set the combination to "0000" (the factory preset combination for many laptop locks) or to the current combination if you have changed it since purchasing it.
