Setting passwords
Toshiba supports several types of passwords on your
computer:
An instant password—Secures your open programs and
files when leaving the computer temporarily (the user
password supports this function).
A supervisor password—Prohibits unauthorized users
from accessing certain functions such as TOSHIBA HW
Setup. This is useful if more than one person uses the
computer.
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.
