Owner String (text box)
You can use this box to associate text with the password. After you
enter text, click Apply or OK. At the time of a startup of a computer, this
text is displayed, when you can ask for the input of 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 the character string to register the password, enter from
the keyboard character by character and do not enter as ASCII code or
copy-and-paste the character string. In addition, ensure that the
registered password is correct by outputting the character string to the
password file.
