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:

❖

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

You need to have created a password for your Windows

®

 account to 

use an instant password.

❖

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

When setting up 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.

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

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.
