Setting passwords
Setting a password lets you walk away from your computer,
secure in the knowledge that nobody can access your files.
When you set a password, you must enter the password
before you can work on your computer again.
Toshiba supports several types of passwords on your
computer:
❖ An instant password — Secures your open programs and
files when leaving the computer temporarily.
❖ A power-on password — Prevents unauthorized users
from starting or restarting the computer.
❖ A supervisor password — Prohibits unauthorized users
from accessing certain functions such as Toshiba
Hardware Setup. This is useful if more than one person
uses the computer.
A single user password supports the instant and power-on
password functions.
When setting up the various passwords, keep the following in
mind:
❖ The user password can be set up under the supervisor
password.
❖ 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.
