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 different types of passwords on your computer:

❖

A user password—Prevents unauthorized users from starting 
the 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.

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.

To set a supervisor password:

To access Supervisor Password from the Start screen begin 
typing Supervisor Password, or while in the Desktop double-
click the Desktop Assist icon.
