Supervisor Password

If you set a Supervisor Password, some functions might be restricted when
a user logs on with the User Password. To set a Supervisor Password,
execute the file TOSPU.EXE. The file is located at:
C:\Program Files\Toshiba\PasswordUtility\TOSPU.exe
This utility lets you do the following:

Set, delete or change the Supervisor Password.
Specify restrictions for general users.

Starting the computer by password

If you have already registered a password, there are several ways to start
the computer:

Swipe your fingerprint on the sensor if you have already registered the
fingerprint with the Fingerprint utility and enabled Fingerprint System
Boot Authentication. If you would not like to swipe your finger or
cannot authenticate the fingerprint for some reasons, push the BACK
SPACE
key to skip the fingerprint authentication screen. You can try
to swipe the fingerprint up to five times. If you failed fingerprint
authentication five times, you must enter the password manually to
start the computer.
Enter the password manually.

The password is necessary only if the computer was turned off in Shut
Down Mode or Hibernation Mode.
It is not needed in Sleep Mode and Restart.
