Setting a password lets you walk away from your computer, 
secure in the knowledge that nobody can access 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:

❖

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

❖

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

When setting up the various passwords, keep the following in 
mind:

❖

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

❖

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.

An instant password secures your system with a single 
keystroke. Use this feature when you leave your desk for a 
few minutes and do not want to turn off the computer.

To use an instant password, press 

Fn

, then press 

F1

. This 

freezes the keyboard and TouchPad, and blanks the screen. 
An instant password has no effect on an optional USB mouse 
or trackball.
