Enabling Hibernation

Any options that you change will become default settings
when you restart your system.
Enabling Hibernation
Your computer includes a Toshiba Power Saver utility that
allows you to change many of your default power settings.
You can enable hibernation through this utility.
To power down the computer using the Hibernation option,
click Start, select Turn off computer. When you hold down
the Shift key, the Standby button changes to Hibernate. Hold
down the Shift key, then select Hibernate.
The computer saves the state of the system, including all open
programs and files, to the hard disk, and then powers down
completely.

Setting user passwords

Setting a password leaves your computer secure so that
nobody can access your files. You must enter the password
before you can work on your computer.
Toshiba supports the several types of passwords on your
computer:
❖
An instant password — Secures your open programs and
files when leaving the computer temporarily
❖
A power-on password — Prevents unauthorized users
from starting or restarting the computer
TECHNICAL NOTE: Toshiba recommends that you always have
the Hibernation option enabled. Hibernation is the function
that causes your system to save anything you have in short-
term memory to the hard disk drive should your battery fail. If
Hibernation is not enabled and your battery dies, you will lose
data.
