Securing your tablet
If you choose to set a password (with or without encryption), Toshiba
strongly recommends that you write down your password and keep it
in a safe location where you can later access it should you not
remember it.
Toshiba is not responsible for any losses that may occur, as a result
of the inability to access your device.
When you initially turn on or wake the tablet, the lock screen
requires you to drag the Lock (
) icon to unlock the screen, see
“Waking the tablet” on page 36 . Alternatively, you can secure the
lock screen by requiring a pattern or entry of a numeric PIN or
password, so only you can access your data. You may also be
required to secure the lock screen by a policy set by an email
account or other account you add to your tablet. For more
information, see
“Location services settings” on page 68 .
You can also encrypt the data on your tablet, so you must enter a
numeric PIN or a password to decrypt it each time you power it on.
