Setting a password lets you walk away from your computer, 
secure in the knowledge that nobody can access your files. 
When you set a password, you must enter the password 
before you can work on your computer again.

Toshiba supports several types of passwords on your 
computer:

❖

An instant password—Secures your open programs and 
files when leaving the computer temporarily (the user 
password supports this function).

❖

A supervisor password—Prohibits unauthorized users 
from accessing certain functions such as TOSHIBA HW 
Setup. This is useful if more than one person uses the 
computer. 

When setting up the various passwords, keep the following in 
mind:

❖

The user password can be set up under the supervisor 
password.

❖

The supervisor password must be set before the user 
password, or the user password must be deleted and then 
re-entered after the supervisor password is set.

An instant password secures your system with a single 
keystroke. Use this feature when you leave your desk for a 
few minutes and do not want to turn off the computer.

To use an instant password, press 

Fn

, then press 

F1

. An instant 

password has no effect on an optional USB mouse or 
trackball.

To unlock your system, press any key or the pointing device 
and the Windows Logon screen will appear. Select your user 
name and enter your password, if any.
