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:
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
If you have already registered a password, there is a way to start the
computer:
■ Enter the password manually.
To enter a password manually, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the power as described in Chapter 3, Getting Started. The
following message will appear in the LCD:
Enter Password [xxxxxxxx]
2. Enter the Password.
3. Press Enter.
Power-up modes
The computer has three power-up modes:
■ Hibernation (saves data in memory to the hard disk)
■ Sleep (power remains on, maintaining the data in memory, but the CPU
and all other devices effectively enter a “sleep” mode)
■ Boot (does not save data in memory)
Windows utilities
You can configure various settings associated with both Sleep Mode and
Hibernation Mode within the Power Options. To access it, click Start ->
Control Panel -> System and Security -> Power Options.
The password is necessary only if the computer was shut down in boot
mode or Hibernation Mode, not in Sleep mode.
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 consecutive times, the
computer shuts down. You must turn on the computer again and re-enter
the password.

Started.
