Setup and Password Security
This chapter explains how to use Toshiba utilities to configure your
computer and how to set security passwords. The utilities include:
Windows 98
Hardware
Power Saver Utility
MS-DOS
TSETUP
Password security (supervisor password)
When you configure the computer with one of the utilities above, the
computer stores your selected values in memory that is backed up by the
internal battery powered Real Time Clock (RTC).
If the RTC battery fully discharges, configuration data is lost. A
checksum error is displayed when you start the computer and the
system configuration returns to default values. To charge the RTC
battery, connect the AC adaptor and turn on the computer’s power. The
RTC battery does not charge when the computer is turned off.
Hardware Setup
Hardware Setup lets you configure settings for pointing devices, display,
TV, CPU cache, boot priority, keyboard, USB, PC card, general, password,
device config, parallel/printer and hardware alarm. To set the IRQ,
I/O Address and DMA channel for communication ports use the Device
Manager.
If the supervisor password is set and you log onto the computer with the
user password, you cannot access the Hardware Setup program.
