Password Utility

Setting a password lets you walk away from your device
while providing additional protection for your files. When you
set a password, you must enter the password before you
can work on your device again.
TOSHIBA supports different types of passwords on your
device:
❖
A supervisor password—Prohibits unauthorized users
from accessing certain functions such as System
Settings. This is useful if more than one person uses the
device.
❖
A user password—Prevents unauthorized users from
starting the device.
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.
