Power and Power-Up Modes ■ If you forget your HDD User Password, TOSHIBA will NOT be able to assist you, and your HDD will be rendered COMPLETELY and PERMANENTLY INOPERABLE. TOSHIBA will NOT be held responsible for any loss of any data, any loss of use or access to your HDD, or for any other losses to you or any other person or organization that result from the loss of access to your HDD. If you can't accept this risk, don't register the HDD User Password. ■ When saving the HDD User Password shut down or restart the computer. If the computer is not shut down or restarted, the saved data may not be correctly reflected. For more information on shutting down or restarting the computer, refer to Turning on the power in Chapter 1. User Token field ■ Create (button) You can use an SD Card token, instead of entering the password. After you have registered a password, insert an SD Card in SD Card slot and click Create. You can use an SD Card of any capacity, but it must be formatted correctly. If an unformatted card or one with an incompatible format is inserted, you will be prompted to format it with a tool named TOSHIBA SD Memory Card Format. To start the format tool, point to or click the following items: Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Utilities -> SD Memory Card Format When you format an SD memory card, all data will be deleted. Be sure to save data on the card to other media before you format the card. ■ Disable (button) Click this button to invalidate the token. You cannot re-validate old tokens, but you can use the same SD Cards to create new tokens. After using the token created for authentication, do not leave it inserted in the SD Card slot, ensure that the token is removed from the slot and stored in a safe location. If the token is left in the slot, there is a danger of theft or a third party using it for authentication and operating the user's computer (resulting in extraction, modification or deletion of data) when the user is not at their desk. Supervisor Password If you set a Supervisor Password, some functions might be restricted when a user logs on with the User Password. To set a Supervisor Password, execute the file TOSPU.EXE. The file is located at: C:\Program Files\Toshiba\PasswordUtility\TOSPU.exe This utility lets you do the following: ■ Register, delete or change the Supervisor Password. ■ Create or invalidate a Supervisor Password token.
