207 Keeping Your Files Safe Using passwords in the Windows® operating system Using passwords in the Windows® operating system Setting a password lets you walk away from your computer, secure in the knowledge that nobody can access your files. When you set a password, you must enter the password before you can work on your computer again. Toshiba supports the following types of passwords on your computer: ❖ A power-on password-Prevents unauthorized users from starting or restarting the computer. ❖ An instant password-Secures your open programs and files when you need to leave the computer temporarily. ❖ An 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 and you remember that 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.
