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:
A supervisor password—Prohibits unauthorized users from
accessing certain functions such as System Settings Setup.
This is useful if more than one person uses the computer.
A user password—Prevents unauthorized users from starting
the computer.
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.
