Starting the BIOS Setup Program

TOSHIBA Password Utility

, for details

about the user password.

Notes before using the BIOS Setup

In normal cases, changes in system configuration should be made in

Windows using TOSHIBA HW Setup, TOSHIBA Password Utility,

TOSHIBA Power Saver, Device Manager, etc.

If the configuration in the BIOS setup program is different from the

configuration in the Windows utility, the configuration in the Windows

utility takes priority.

Depending on the system, changes made to the system configuration

might not be reflected.

The settings in the BIOS setup program are not erased even if the

power supply is switched off. However, if the built-in battery (RTC

battery) runs out of power, the settings will revert back to their default

values.

The following item does not revert back to their default values.

• Password

• HDD Password

• Security controller

Select either the Execute-Disable Bit Capability or settings in the security

controller to make changes. Please refer to the operating instructions

displayed in the settings screen.
