Supervisor password

If you set a supervisor password, some functions might be restricted when
a user logs on with the user password. To set a supervisor password,
execute the file TOSPU.EXE. The file is located at:
C:\Program Files\Toshiba\Windows
Utilities\SVPWTool\TOSPU.EXE
This utility lets you do the following:
Register, delete or change the supervisor password.
Create or invalidate a supervisor password token.
This function in the TOSHIBA Password Utility lets you invalidate only
supervisor tokens or all tokens, including user and supervisor tokens.
Specify restrictions for general users.

If you registered a password, there are two ways to start the computer:
Insert an SD card token before you turn on the computer. The computer
will start normally, without displaying a password prompt.
Enter the password manually.
The password is necessary only if the computer was shut down in boot
mode. It is not needed in Standby mode.
To enter a password manually, follow these steps:

following message will appear in the LCD:
