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.
