Setting passwords
Setting a password lets you walk away from your computer,
secure in the knowledge that nobody can access your files.
When you set a password, you must enter the password
before you can work on your computer again.
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
