TOSHIBA Password Utility

The TOSHIBA Password Utility provides two levels of password security: User and Supervisor.

Passwords set by the TOSHIBA Password Utility function are different from the Windows password.

User Password

To start the utility, point to or tap the following items:

Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Support & Recovery -> TOSHIBA Assist -> SECURE -> User password

Registered (button)

Tap to register a password of up to 10 characters. After a password is set, you will be prompted to enter it when you start the computer.

Not Registered (button)

Tap to delete a registered password. Before you can delete a password, you must first enter the current password correctly.

Owner String (text box)

You can use this box to associate text with the password. After you enter text, tap Apply or OK. When the computer is started, this text will be displayed together with the prompt asking you to enter a password.

Supervisor Password

If you set a Supervisor Password, some functions will be restricted when a user logs on with the User Password. To set a Supervisor Password:

Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Support & Recovery -> TOSHIBA Assist -> SECURE -> Supervisor password

This utility lets you do the following:

Register or delete the Supervisor Password.

Specify restrictions for general users.

Starting the computer by password

If you have already registered a password, there is one way to start the computer:

Enter the password manually.

The password is necessary only if the computer was shut down in boot mode, not in Hibernation or Sleep mode.
