Owner String (text box)

You can use this box to associate text with the password. After you

enter text, click Apply or OK. When the computer is started, this text

will be displayed together with the prompt asking you to enter a

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.

If you forget your HDD User Password, TOSHIBA will NOT be able to

assist you, and your HDD 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

HDD, or for any other losses to you or any other person or organization

that result from the loss of access to your HDD. If you can’t accept this

risk, don’t register the HDD User Password.

computer. If the computer is not shut down or restarted, the saved data

may not be correctly reflected. For more information on shutting down
