Keeping Your Files Safe
Using a Hard Disk Drive Password
The Master password provides a second level of security. This
optional password lets you bypass the User password and access
your hard disk, in case you forget the User password.
Make sure you choose a hard disk password you can remem-
ber easily. If you set a hard disk password and later forget the
password or lose your password diskette, you will never be
able to access your hard disk again.
Toshiba is not responsible for any data loss, lack of use,
inability to access the hard disk drive, or any other loss to you
or any other person or organization that results from an
inaccessible hard disk drive.
Setting a Hard Disk Drive Master Password
If you choose to set a hard disk drive Master password, you
must set it before setting the hard disk drive User password.
To set a hard disk drive Master password, follow these steps:
1 Click Start, then point to Programs.
2 Click Windows Explorer.
The Windows Explorer window opens.
3 Double-click the Windows folder in the C: drive directory.
The right side of the Explorer window displays all the folders
