Click this button to register a password of up to 50 characters. After a
password is set, you will be prompted to enter it when you start the
computer.
■ Delete (button)
Click this button to delete a registered password. Before you can delete
a password, you must first enter the current password correctly or insert
a proper token.
■ Change (button)
Click this button to change a registered password. Before you can
change a password, you must first enter the current password correctly
or insert a proper token.
■ Owner String (text box)
You can use this box to associate text with the password. After you enter
text, click Apply or OK. At the time of a startup of a computer, this text
is displayed, when you can ask for the input of a password.
Passwords set in TOSHIBA Password Utility are different from the Windows
password.
■ After you set the password, a dialog box will be displayed asking whether
you want to save it to a floppy disk or other media. If you forget the
password, you can open the password file on another computer. Be sure
to keep the media in a safe place.
■ When entering the character string to register the password, enter from
the keyboard character by character and do not enter as ASCII code or
copy-and-paste the character string. In addition, ensure that the
registered password is correct by outputting the character string to the
password file.
