Setting a hard disk drive user only password in System
Setup
If you choose to set a hard disk drive user password, we
strongly recommend that you set a hard disk drive master
password as well (see “Setting a hard disk drive master and
user password in System Setup” on page 187 for more
information).
If you set a hard disk drive user password and later forget the
password, YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO ACCESS YOUR
HARD DISK AGAIN, unless you’ve set a hard disk drive master
password.
Toshiba is not responsible for any losses that may occur to
you, your organization or others as a result of the inability to
access the hard drive.
To register a user only password in System Setup:
1 Click Start, then click Shutdown, and click OK.
The computer shuts down.
2 Hold down the
Esc key and press and hold the power
button until the on/off light on the system indicator panel
illuminates (green) for approximately one second. When
the following message appears on the screen: “Check
system, Then press [F1] key,” press
F1.
The System Setup screen appears.
3 Press H to move to the HDD PASSWORD section on the
screen.
4 Press the spacebar to select User Only password mode.
5 Press an arrow key to move to the User Password option.

characters and press

of letters and numbers in your password.
