There
are three aspects to setting the Motion Password that are confusing to some
people:
1
The
definition of a Motion Password Position
The
Motion Password consists of three angular positions in space. Think of them
as "tilting" the laptop. So your first position might be tilting the
left side up, the second might be tilting the laptop toward you, and the third
might be holding it flat
2
How
long to hold the laptop in position after pressing the "Set Position"
button
After
clicking on the Set Position button, there will be a three second countdown to
give you time to get the laptop into the position. The laptop must be resting
still in your intended Motion Password Position when the countdown finishes.
If the laptop is either moving or is in another position at the instant the countdown
finishes, your intended Position will not be captured.

Why
some positions are valid and others are not
Some
laptop positions are not valid Motion Password positions because they are
too close to another Motion Password position. As a rule, positions 1 and
2 must be at least 30 degrees removed from each other. Likewise for positions
2 and 3.
