167 Toshiba Utilities Hard disk drive passwords Setting a hard disk drive user only password in System Setup If you choose to set a hard disk drive user password, we strongly recommend that you set a hard disk drive master password as well. If you set a hard disk drive user password and later forget the password or lose your password diskette, YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO ACCESS YOUR HARD DISK AGAIN, unless you've set a hard disk drive master password. To register a user only password in System Setup: 1 Click Start, then click Shutdown, and click OK. The computer shuts down. 2 Hold down the Esc key and press and hold the power button until the on/off light on the system indicator panel illuminates (green) for approximately one second. When the following message appears on the screen: "Check system, Then press [F1] key," press F1. The System Setup screen appears. 3 Press H to move to the HDD PASSWORD section on the screen. 4 Press the spacebar to select User Only password mode. 5 Press the down arrow key to move to the User Password section. 6 Press the spacebar, then type a password of 1 to 16 characters and press Enter. You may use any combination of letters and numbers in your password. 7 When System Setup prompts you to verify the password, type it again and press Enter.
