. When the computer is started, this text
will be displayed together with the prompt asking you to enter a

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:
Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Support & Recovery -> TOSHIBA
Assist -> SECURE -> Supervisor password
This utility lets you do the following:

Starting the computer by password
If you have already registered a password, there is one way to start the
computer:
Enter the password manually.
The password is necessary only if the computer was shut down in boot
mode, not in Hibernation or Sleep mode.
