You can use an SD/SDHC Card token, instead of entering the
password. After you have registered a password, insert an SD/SDHC
Card in SD Card slot and click Create. You can use an SD/SDHC Card
of any capacity, but it must be formatted correctly.
If an unformatted card or one with an incompatible format is inserted,
you will be prompted to format it with a tool named TOSHIBA SD
Memory Card Format. To start the format tool, point to or click the
following items:
Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Utilities ->

Disable (button)
Click this button to invalidate the token. You cannot re-validate old
tokens, but you can use the same SD/SDHC Cards to create new
tokens.

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.
■
If you want to register the HDD master Password or the password for
the Ultra Slim Bay HDD, you can set them by the BIOS SETUP
Program.
■
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

When you format an SD/SDHC memory card, all data will be deleted. Be
sure to save data on the card to other media before you format the card.
