User-level passwords
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.4.0
A supervisor-level password that protects system settings 
by restricting who can make changes in Toshiba Utilities 
and System Setup. This is useful if more than one person 
is using the computer.
User-level passwords 
The user-level password is the basic level of password 
security. You can use it as a power-on password. For most 
users, this is all the password security you’ll need.
You can set (register) a user-level password in either Toshiba 
Hardware Setup or System Setup. If you use System Setup, 
however, you can also create a password service diskette 
which can be used to bypass the password function when 
starting your computer. Once you have used the diskette, you 
must reset your password and create another password 
service diskette.
Make sure you use a password you can remember easily. 
If you ever forget your password, contact your network 
administrator.
A good way to prevent forgetting your password is to 
create a password service diskette. Refer to 
 fo
instructions.
Setting a user-level password 
You can set a user-level password in Toshiba Console or in 
System Setup.
