If you forget your HDD User Password, TOSHIBA will NOT be able to
assist you, and your HDD will be rendered COMPLETELY and
PERMANENTLY INOPERABLE. TOSHIBA will NOT be held responsible
for any loss of any data, any loss of use or access to your HDD, or for any
other losses to you or any other person or organization that result from the
loss of access to your HDD. If you can’t accept this risk, don’t register the
HDD User Password.
When saving the HDD User Password shut down or restart the computer. If
the computer is not shut down or restarted, the saved data may not be
correctly reflected. For more information on shutting down or restarting the
computer, refer to
Turning on the power in chapter 1.
Supervisor Password
If you set a Supervisor Password, some functions might be restricted when
a user logs on with the User Password. To set a Supervisor Password,
execute the file TOSPU.EXE. The file is located at:
C:\Program Files\Toshiba\PasswordUtility\TOSPU.exe
This utility lets you do the following:
Set, delete or change the Supervisor Password.
Specify restrictions for general users.
Starting the computer by password
If you have already registered a password, there are several ways to start
the computer:
Swipe your fingerprint on the sensor if you have already registered the
fingerprint with the Fingerprint utility and enabled Fingerprint System
Boot Authentication. If you would not like to swipe your finger or
cannot authenticate the fingerprint for some reasons, push the BACK
SPACE key to skip the fingerprint authentication screen. You can try
to swipe the fingerprint up to five times. If you failed fingerprint
authentication five times, you must enter the password manually to
start the computer.
Enter the password manually.
The password is necessary only if the computer was turned off in Shut
Down Mode or Hibernation Mode.
It is not needed in Sleep Mode and Restart.
