182 Keeping Your Files Safe Using passwords in the Windows® operating system ❖ A HDD password- A hard disk drive password that protects your data by requiring a password when you try to access the hard disk, whether it is in your computer or in another system. You can set a hard disk drive user password and/or a hard disk drive master password. 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, YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO ACCESS YOUR HARD DISK AGAIN, unless you have set a hard disk drive master password. Toshiba is not responsible for any losses that may occur to you, your organization or others as a result of the inability to access the hard drive. User-level passwords The user-level password is the basic level of password security. You can use it as both a power-on password and an instant password. For most users, this is all the password security you will need. Make sure you use a password you can remember easily. If you ever forget your password, contact your network administrator. Setting a user-level password To set (register) a user-level password: 1 Click Start, All Programs, Toshiba, Utilities, and then click Password Utility.
