You can use this box to associate text with the password. After you
enter text, click Apply or OK, then, each time the computer is switched
on, this text will be displayed along with the prompt for the password.
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:
Click Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Utilities -> TOSHIBA Assist
-> SECURE -> Supervisor password
This utility lets you do the following:
■ Register or delete the supervisor password.
■ Specify restrictions for general users.
Starting the computer by password
To start up the computer with the user password, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the power as described in Chapter 1, Getting Started. The
following message will appear in the screen:
Enter Current Password
2. Enter the Password.
3. Press ENTER.
Power-up modes
The computer has three different power-up modes as follows:
■ Shut Down Mode: The computer will shut down without saving data - in
view of this you must always save your work before you turn the
computer off.
■ Hibernation Mode: Data in memory will be saved to the hard disk drive.
■ Sleep Mode: Data will be maintained in the computer's memory.
At this point, the hotkeys FN + F1 to F9 do not work. They will function after
you enter the password.
If you enter the password incorrectly three times in a row, the computer
shuts off. In this case, you must turn the computer back on to retry
password entry.
Please refer to the sections Turning on the power and Turning off the
power in Chapter 1, Getting Started for further information.
