Password Utility

Setting a password lets you walk away from your computer 
while providing additional protection for 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:

❖

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

❖

A user password—Prevents unauthorized users from 
starting the computer.

When setting up passwords, keep the following in mind:

❖

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.

❖

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

Using a supervisor password

A supervisor password prevents other users from changing 
hardware configuration options.

Setting a supervisor password

If you choose to set a supervisor or user password, 
TOSHIBA strongly recommends that you save your 
password in a location where you can later access it 
should you not remember it.

TOSHIBA is not responsible for any losses that may 
occur to you, your organization or others as a result of the 
inability to access your computer.
