■ Set (button)
Click this button to register a password of up to 50 characters. After a
password is set, you will be prompted to enter it when you start the
computer.
■ Delete (button)
Click this button to delete a registered password. Before you can delete
a password, you must first enter the current password correctly.
■ Change (button)
Click this button to change a registered password. Before you can
change a password, you must first enter the current password correctly.
■ Owner String (text box)
You can use this box to associate text with the password. After you
enter text, click Apply or OK. When the computer is started, this text
will be displayed together with the prompt asking you to enter a
password.
Passwords set in TOSHIBA Password Utility are different from the
Windows password.
■ After you set the password, a dialog box will be displayed asking
whether you want to save it to a floppy disk or other media.
If you forget the password, you can open the password file on
another computer. Be sure to keep the media in a safe place.
■ When entering a password ensure that you use standard keyboard
characters and not characters entered as ASCII codes or characters
copied by using the copy-and-paste facility, as these will not be able to
be entered when the computer starts. In addition, you are advised to
ensure the registered password is correct by outputting it to a password
file.
