107 Utilities and Applications Password Utility Password Utility Setting a password lets you walk away from your device while providing additional protection for your files. When you set a password, you must enter the password before you can work on your device again. TOSHIBA supports different types of passwords on your device: ❖ A supervisor password-Prohibits unauthorized users from accessing certain functions such as System Settings. This is useful if more than one person uses the device. ❖ A user password-Prevents unauthorized users from starting the device. When setting up passwords, keep the following in mind: ❖ 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. ❖ The user password can be set up under the supervisor password. Using a supervisor password A supervisor password prevents other users from changing hardware configuration options. Setting a supervisor password 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.
