You can set a hard disk drive user password and/or a hard disk drive master password. 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'll need.

Once you have used the diskette, you must reset your password and create another password service diskette. You can set (register) a user-level password in either Toshiba Hardware Setup or TSETUP.
