Toshiba Utilities Setting passwords 171 Setting passwords Setting a password lets you walk away from your computer, secure in the knowledge that nobody can access your files. 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. A power-on password -- Prevents unauthorized users from starting or restarting the computer. A supervisor password -- Prohibits unauthorized users from accessing certain functions such as Toshiba Hardware Setup. This is useful if more than one person uses the computer. A single user password supports the instant and power-on password functions. 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. Click OK if you want to save the password to a text file on a diskette or media of your choice. Click Cancel if you do not want to save the password to a text file. This is known as the password service diskette. If you choose to set a supervisor or user password, Toshiba strongly recommends that you save your password in a location where you can later access it should you not remember it. Toshiba is not responsible for any losses that may occur to you, your organization or others as a result of the inability to access your computer. 7 176 Toshiba Utilities TOSHIBA PC Diagnostic Tool Utility TOSHIBA PC Diagnostic Tool Utility This utility can help diagnose problems with devices in your computer.
