Starting The Computer By Password - Toshiba Satellite Pro M10 User Manual

Starting the computer by password

If you registered a password, there are two ways to start the computer:
■
Insert a password token before you turn on the computer. The
computer will start normally, without displaying a password prompt.
■
Enter the password manually.
The password is necessary only if the computer was shut down in boot
mode. It is not needed in Hibernation or Standby mode.
To enter a password manually, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the power as described in Chapter 3, Getting Started. The
following message will appear in the LCD:
S
2. Enter the Password.
3. Press Enter.
If you enter the password incorrectly three times in a row, the computer
shuts off. In this case, you must turn the computer back on to retry
password entry.
