When you set a password, you must enter the password before you can work on your computer again. Toshiba supports several types of passwords on your computer: An instant password--Secures your open programs and files when leaving the computer temporarily (the user password supports this function). A supervisor password--Prohibits unauthorized users from accessing certain functions such as TOSHIBA HW Setup. This is useful if more than one person uses the computer. When setting up the various passwords, keep the following in mind: The user password can be set up under the supervisor password. The supervisor password must be set before the user password, or the user password must be deleted and then re-entered after the supervisor password is set. Using an instant password An instant password secures your system with a single keystroke. Use this feature when you leave your desk for a few minutes and do not want to turn off the computer. To use an instant password, press Fn, then press F1. An instant password has no effect on an optional USB mouse or trackball. To unlock your system, press any key or touch the pointing device and the Windows Logon screen will appear. Select your user name and enter your password, if any.
