Setting user passwords
❖
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.

Using an instant password
