Using passwords in the Windows® operating system

A HDD password— A hard disk drive password that 
protects your data by requiring a password when you try 
to access the hard disk, whether it is in your computer or 
in another system. You can set a hard disk drive user 
password and/or a hard disk drive master password.
If you choose to set a hard disk drive user password, we 
strongly recommend that you set a hard disk drive master 
password as well.
If you set a hard disk drive user password and later forget the 
password, YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO ACCESS YOUR 
HARD DISK AGAIN, unless you have set a hard disk drive 
master password.
Toshiba is not responsible for any losses that may occur to 
you, your organization or others as a result of the inability to 
access the hard drive.
User-level passwords 
The user-level password is the basic level of password 
security. You can use it as both a power-on password and an 
instant password. For most users, this is all the password 
security you will need.
Make sure you use a password you can remember easily. If 
you ever forget your password, contact your network 
administrator.
