178 Toshiba Utilities Setting user passwords The computer saves the state of the system, including all open programs and files, to the hard disk, and then powers down completely. TECHNICAL NOTE: Toshiba recommends that you always have the Hibernation option enabled. Hibernation is the function that causes your system to save anything you have in short-term memory to the hard disk drive should your battery fail. If Hibernation is not enabled and your battery dies, you will lose data. Setting user passwords Setting a password leaves your computer secure so that nobody can access your files. You must enter the password before you can work on your computer. Toshiba supports the several types of passwords on your computer: ❖ An instant password - Secures your open programs and files when leaving the computer temporarily ❖ A power-on password - Prevents unauthorized users from starting or restarting the computer ❖ 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. A single user password supports the instant and power-on password functions.
