A time managing system and method for controlling usage time of information equipment can improve security of the information equipment. The system includes a security identifying module, a setting management module, and a control operation module, and is internally built in the information equipment. The security identifying module verifies authority of an authorized person who is thus able to set a usage time limit for the information equipment via the setting management module. Therefore, the control operation module is capable of determining whether the information equipment can be accessed according to the usage time limit. If system time of the information equipment exceeds the usage time limit, the information equipment would automatically shut down. This controls the usage time of the information equipment and prevents data stored in the information equipment from being accessed by unauthorized persons.
