Setting passwords
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. 
A single user password supports the instant and power-on password 
functions. 
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.
Using an instant password
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 + F1
.
To unlock your system, press any key or touch the pointing device 
and the Windows
®
 Logon screen will appear. Select your user name 
and enter your password, if any.
