TOSHIBA Password Utility

The TOSHIBA Password Utility provides two levels of password security:
User and Supervisor.
Passwords set in the TOSHIBA Password Utility are different from the
Windows password.

User password

To start the utility, point to or click the following items:
The user password dialog box contains two main fields: User Password
and User Token.
User authentication may be required to validate user rights when using
"TOSHIBA Password Utility" to delete or change passwords, or create
tokens, etc.
User Password field
Set (button)
Click this button to register a password of up to 50 characters. After a
password is set, you will be prompted to enter it when you start the
computer.
After you set the password, a dialog box will be displayed asking
whether you want to save it to a floppy disk or other media. If you forget
the password, you can open the password file on another computer. Be
sure to keep the media in a safe place.
When entering the character string to register the password, enter from
the keyboard character by character and do not enter as ASCII code or
copy-and-paste the character string. In addition, ensure that the
registered password is correct by outputting the character string to the
password file.
Delete (button)
Click this button to delete a registered password. Before you can delete
a password, you must first enter the current password correctly or insert
a proper token.
Change (button)
Click this button to change a registered password. Before you can

or insert a proper token.
Owner String (text box)
You can use this box to associate text with the password. After you
enter text, click Apply or OK. At the time of a startup of a computer, this
text is displayed, when you can ask for the input of a password.
