TOSHIBA Security Assist
The TOSHIBA Security Assist Utility acts as a “command center”
where you can set up various passwords or other security features,
and see how these features can be used with each other to increase
security even further, or to simplify the ways that you protect your
system.
To open TOSHIBA Security Assist:
❖ Click Start, All Programs, TOSHIBA, Utilities, and then
Security Assist, or click the Security Assist icon in the Secure
tab of TOSHIBA Assist.
The TOSHIBA Security Assist main window appears.

From the main window, you can select a category that shows the type
of passwords or other security features that can be used in that scenario.
The available categories are:
❖ Boot Setting—Select this category to set up security features
that will prevent an unauthorized user from even starting up
your machine.
❖ BIOS User Password: Set up a power-on password in the
system BIOS.
❖ HDD User Password: Set up a BIOS password and use
the same password for a hard disk password.
❖ Fingerprint Authentication: Register your fingerprints,
to be used in place of a BIOS and/or HDD password, when
requested.
