■ Disable (button)
Click this button to invalidate the token. You cannot re-validate old
tokens, but you can use the same SD cards to create new tokens.
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\Windows Utilities\SVPWTool\TOSPU.EXE
This utility lets you do the following:
■ Register, delete or change the Supervisor Password.
■ Create or invalidate a Supervisor Password token.
■ Specify restrictions for general users.
Starting the computer by password
If you have already registered a password, there are two ways to start the
computer:
■ Insert an SD card token before you turn on the computer. The computer
will start normally, without displaying a password prompt.
■ Swipe your fingerprint on the sensor if you have already registered the
fingerprint with the Fingerprint Utility and enabled Fingerprint power-on
security. If you would not like to swipe your finger or cannot authenticate
the fingerprint for some reasons, push the BkSp key to skip the
fingerprint authentication screen. You can try to swipe the fingerprint up
to five times. If you failed fingerprint authentication more than five times,
you must enter the password manually to start the computer.
■ Enter the password manually.
To enter a password manually, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the power as described in Chapter 3,
Getting Started . The
following message will appear in the LCD:
S
Password=
2. Enter the Password.
3. Press Enter.
After using the token created for authentication, do not leave it inserted in
the SD card slot, ensure that the token is removed from the slot and stored
in a safe location. If the token is left in the slot, there is a danger of theft or
a third party using it for authentication and operating the user’s computer
(resulting in extraction, modification or deletion of data) when the user is
not at their desk.
This function in the TOSHIBA Password Utility lets you invalidate only
supervisor tokens or all tokens, including user and supervisor tokens.
The password is necessary only if the computer was shut down in boot
mode. It is not needed in Standby Mode.
