Using passwords in the Windows® operating system
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 will need.
Setting a user-level password
To set (register) a user-level password:
1
Click Start, All Programs, Toshiba, Utilities, and then
click Password Utility.
2
Open the User Password tab.
3
Click Set.
A Set User Password dialog box appears.
4
Type in the password.
5
Reenter the password and click Set.
A message box appears asking if you want to save the
password on removable media.
6
If you want to save the password, click OK and then
follow the on-screen instructions. If you do not want to
save the password, click Cancel.
7
Click OK on the Toshiba Password Utility window.
Your user password is now in effect. Use it when you
start the computer (power-on password).
Make sure you use a password you can remember easily. If
you forget the User and Supervisor passwords, you will not be
able to use the computer. Contact a TOSHIBA Authorized
Service Provider for assistance.
