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 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.
❖
A supervisor password — Prohibits unauthorized users
from accessing certain functions such as Toshiba
Hardware Setup. This is useful if more than one person
uses the computer.
A single user password supports the instant and power-on
password functions.
When setting up the various passwords, keep the following in
mind:
❖
The user password can be set up under the supervisor
password.
❖
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.
