TOSHIBA Password Utility

, for details

about the User Password.

Notes Before Using the BIOS Setup Application

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, 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 turned 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
• Fingerprint patterns
