Security is provided for a docking station (41). Within the docking station (41) a docking password (55) is stored. Upon a portable computer (40) being attached to the docking station (41), a password (51,52) stored in the portable computer (40) is compared to the docking password (55). If the password (51,52) stored in the portable computer (40) is equal to the docking password (55), the portable computer (40) is allowed to access the docking station (41). If the password (51,52) stored in the portable computer (40) is not equal to the docking password (55), the portable computer (40) is prevented from accessing the docking station (41). <IMAGE> |
