is successful, the user will automatically be logged into Windows.
Fingerprint Power-on Security
General
The fingerprint authentication system can be used to replace the keyboard
based password authentication system that is used when the computer is
turned on.
If you do not want to use the fingerprint authentication system for password
authentication when the computer is turned on, but instead prefer to use
the keyboard entry method instead, simply press the Back Space key or
the ESC/Rotation button when the Fingerprint Power-on Security screen is
displayed. Using this process will switch the password input screen across
to the keyboard based entry screen.
If the fingerprint authentication process fails you will need to log into
Windows using the appropriate username and password. In addition, you
should use this manual login process if fingerprint authentication fails for
three consecutive tries - a warning message will be displayed when
authentication is not normal or is not successful within a fixed duration.
■ You must ensure that you use the TOSHIBA Password Utility to
register a User Password before using the Fingerprint Power-on
Security and its extended function to allow fingerprints to be used to
access the computer when it is turned on.
■ If the fingerprint authentication process fails five times, a preset time
limit is exceeded, or you press the Back Space key, [Password=] will
be displayed on the screen and you will have to enter either the User
Password or Supervisor Password manually in order to start the
computer.
■ When swiping your finger, please ensure you do it slowly and at a
constant speed. If you find that this does not improve the authentication
rate, you should try to adjust the speed at which the finger is swiped.
■ If there are any changes in the environment or setting related to
authorization, you will be required to provide authorization information
such as a User Password (and, if applicable, the HDD (Hard Disk
Drive) password).
