Password Utility
Setting a password lets you walk away from your computer while
providing additional protection for your files. When you set a
password, you must enter the password before you can work on
your computer again.
TOSHIBA supports different types of passwords on your computer:
❖ A supervisor password—Prohibits unauthorized users from
accessing certain functions such as System Settings. This is
useful if more than one person uses the computer.
❖ A user password—Prevents unauthorized users from starting
the computer.
When setting up passwords, keep the following in mind:
❖ The supervisor password must be set before the user password,
or the user password must be deleted and then re-entered after
the supervisor password is set.
❖ The user password can be set up under the supervisor
password.
Using a supervisor password
A supervisor password prevents other users from changing
hardware configuration options.
Setting a supervisor password
If you choose to set a supervisor or user password, TOSHIBA
strongly recommends that you save your password in a location
where you can later access it should you not remember it.
TOSHIBA is not responsible for any losses that may occur to you, your
organization or others as a result of the inability to access your
computer.
To set a supervisor password:
1 To access Supervisor Password from the Start screen begin
typing Password Utility, or while in the Desktop screen
double-click or touch the Desktop Assist icon.
2 Click or touch Tools & Utilities.
3 Click or touch Password Utility.
