User-level passwords
The user-level password is the basic level of password
security. You can use it as both a power-on password and an
instant password. For most users, this is all the password
security you’ll need.
You can set (register) a user-level password in either Toshiba
Hardware Setup or System Setup. If you use System Setup
however, you can also create a password service diskette
which can be used to bypass the password function when
starting your computer. Once you have used the diskette, you
must reset your password and create another password
