ABSTRACT:
A computer system is provided to prevent a portable computer from being removed from a docking station by a unauthorized person. When set in a password protection mode, the docking station demands a password to be entered in response to a undocking request. The docking station then checks the password entered. In the password protection mode, the docking station releases and ejects the portable computer only when the password is correctly entered. The computer system is able to record and report the unauthorized attempt to release the portable from the docking station.
