TOSHIBA Anti-theft Protection Timer
This feature allows you to set up a timer-activated BIOS password that will
prevent unauthorised system access in the event of theft.
When the time limit is exceeded, you are required to provide the Password
or fingerprint authentication for the BIOS and Hard Disk Drive to gain
access to the system.
To set permissions and limits for the TOSHIBA Anti-theft Protection Timer
please use the TOSHIBA Password Utility.
The settings can only be activated or modified by a user with supervisor
authority. If the supervisor password is not set, click on the Set button in
Supervisor Password from the supervisor tab in TOSHIBA Password
Utility and set the password on the dialog screen that appears.
Then, click on the Set button in TOSHIBA Anti-theft Protection Timer.
Take the following action if the set limit is exceeded.
■ If the Supervisor Password is registered but the User Password is not,
enter the Supervisor Password to boot up the computer.
■ If both the Supervisor Password and the User Password are registered,
enter either the Supervisor Password, the User Password or the
fingerprint authentication to boot up the computer.
■ The limit counts the number of days from the last time Windows is
logged on till the next time the computer is booted up. The range can
be set from 1 to 28 days.
■ Authentication is required if the computer’s clock is significantly
modified.
■ If the Supervisor Password is deleted, this function becomes disabled.
