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 click the following items:
Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Support & Recovery -> TOSHIBA
Assist -> SECURE -> User password
User authentication may be required to validate user rights when using
TOSHIBA Password Utility to delete or change passwords, etc.

Set (button)
Click this button to register a password. After a password is set, you
will be prompted to enter it when you start the computer. Check "Set
the same string simultaneously as the HDD User Password" when
setting the HDD User Password.

After you set the password, a dialog box will be displayed asking
whether you want to save it to a floppy diskette or other media. If you
forget the password, you can open the password file on another
computer. Be sure to keep the media in a safe place.
When entering the character string to register the password, enter
from the keyboard character by character and do not enter as ASCII
code or copy-and-paste the character string. In addition, ensure that
the registered password is correct by outputting the character string to
the password file.
When entering a password, do not enter any characters (for example
"!" or "#") produced by pressing the SHIFT or ALT keys and so on.

Delete (button)
Click this button to delete a registered password. Before you can
delete a password, you must first enter the current password correctly.
Please use BIOS Setup to change or delete the HDD Passwords or to
set the HDD Master Password.

To start BIOS Setup, Press and hold the F2 key, and then turn on the
computer - the BIOS setup utility will load.
