User Password

To start the utility, point to or click the following items:

Launch TOSHIBA Assist -> SECURE -> User Password

■ Registered

Click to register a password of up to 8 characters. After a password is set,

you will be prompted to enter it when you start the computer.

■ Not Registered

Click to delete a registered password. Before you can delete a password,

you must first enter the current password correctly.

■ Owner String (text box)

You can use this box to associate text with the password. After you enter

text, click Apply or OK, then, each time the computer is switched on, this

text will be displayed along with the prompt for the password.

Supervisor password

If you set a supervisor password, some functions will be restricted when a

user logs on with the user password. To set a supervisor password:

TOSHIBA Assist -> SECURE -> Supervisor password

This utility lets you do the following:

■ Register or delete the supervisor password.

■ Specify restrictions for general users.

Starting the computer by password

If you have already registered a password, there is one way to start the

computer:

■ Enter the password manually.

To enter a password manually, follow these steps:

1. Turn on the power as described in Chapter 1, Getting Started.

The following message will appear in the LCD:

Enter Password [xxxxxxxx]

2. Enter the Password.

3. Press Enter.

The password is necessary only if the computer was shut down in boot

mode, not in Hibernation or Sleep mode.

At this point, the hotkeys Fn + F1 to F9 do not work. They will function after

you enter the password.

If you enter the password incorrectly three consecutive times, the

computer shuts down. You must turn on the computer again and re-enter

the password.
