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 (see 

 for more 

information).

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.
