Please refer to Chapter 6, the TOSHIBA Password Utility, for details
about the User Password.

2. Press the F1 key.
The BIOS setup program will start up.
Notes before using the BIOS Setup
■In most cases, changes to the system's configuration should be made
within Windows by using applications such as TOSHIBA HW Setup,
TOSHIBA Password Utility, TOSHIBA Power Saver, Windows
Device Manager and so forth. If you make changes to the
configuration through the BIOS setup program, please be aware that
the configuration set through the Windows applications will take
priority.
■Changes to the settings within the BIOS setup program will not be
erased even if the power supply is switched off and the main battery
removed. However, if the built-in Real Time Clock (RTC) battery runs
out of power, most of the settings will revert back to their default
values. However, please note that the following items will not be
affected in this instance:
• Password
• Hard Disk Drive Password
• Security controller
Select either the Execute-Disable Bit Capability or settings in the security
controller to make changes. Please refer to the operating instructions
displayed in the settings screen.
