Activating the power-on password
When you first turn on your computer, no password is
required. But you can set up your computer so that a
password is required to complete the powering up process in
the future.
To activate the power-on password:
1 Double-click the TOSHIBA Console icon on the
desktop.
The TOSHIBA Console window appears. For more
information see
“TOSHIBA Console” on page 194 .
2 Click Security.
3 Click User password.
4 Follow the on-screen instructions.
The password requirement becomes active the next time
you turn on your computer.
When the feature is active, you must enter the password
during the power-on process. After typing your
password, press the
Enter key.
If the password is correct, the power-on process
continues. If the password is incorrect, you will be
prompted to try again.
If you forget your power-on password and therefore cannot
turn on your computer, take your computer to a Toshiba
authorized service center for help.
