156 Toshiba Utilities Setting passwords A single user password supports the instant and power-on password functions. 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. To use an instant password, press Fn, then press F1. This freezes the keyboard and TouchPad, and blanks the screen. An instant password has no effect on an optional USB mouse or trackball. To unlock your system, press Enter and the Windows Logon screen will appear. Select your user name and enter your password, if any. Setting a user password To register a password for the power-on password functions: 1 Click Start, All Programs, Toshiba, Utilities, then click Toshiba Assist. The TOSHIBA Assist window appears. 2 On the left side, select Secure. 3 Select the User Password icon. 4 Click Registered. 5 Type your password in the Password box.
