The computer saves the state of the system, including all open 
programs and files, to the hard disk, and then powers down 
completely.

TECHNICAL NOTE: Toshiba recommends that you always have 
the Hibernation option enabled. Hibernation is the function 
that causes your system to save anything you have in short-
term memory to the hard disk drive should your battery fail. If 
Hibernation is not enabled and your battery dies, you will lose 
data.

Setting a password leaves your computer secure so that 
nobody can access your files. You must enter the password 
before you can work on your computer.

Toshiba supports the several types of passwords on your 
computer:

❖

An instant password — Secures your open programs and 
files when you temporarily leave the computer. 

❖

A power-on password — Prevents unauthorized users 
from starting or restarting the computer 

❖

A hard disk drive password — Prevents access to the hard 
disk even if it is removed and installed in another 
computer 

❖

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

A single user password supports the instant and power-on 
password functions.
