150 Toshiba Utilities Setting passwords ❖ TOSHIBA Zooming Utility ❖ TOSHIBA Button Controls ❖ CD/DVD Drive Acoustic Silencer 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 (the user password supports this function). ❖ 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. 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.
