If you forget your SSD User Password, TOSHIBA will NOT be able to
assist you, and your SSD will be rendered COMPLETELY and
PERMANENTLY INOPERABLE. TOSHIBA will NOT be held
responsible for any loss of any data, any loss of use or access to your
SSD, or for any other losses to you or any other person or
organization that result from the loss of access to your SSD. If you
can’t accept this risk, don’t register the SSD User Password.
When saving the SSD User Password shut down or restart the
computer. If the computer is not shut down or restarted, the saved
data may not be correctly reflected. For more information on shutting
down or restarting the computer, refer to
Turning on the power in
Chapter 1.
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:
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.
