Fingerprint Power-on Security

General

The fingerprint authentication system can be used to replace the keyboard-

based User/BIOS Password authentication system when booting up.
If you do not want to use the fingerprint authentication system for password

authentication when booting up, but prefer to use the keyboard-based

system instead, press the BkSP (backspace) key or the ESC/Rotation

button when the Fingerprint Power-on Security screen is displayed. This

will switch the password input screen to the keyboard-based one.

How to Enable Fingerprint Power-on Security Settings

It is necessary to first enroll your fingerprint with the Protector Suite QL

application prior to enabling and configuring the Fingerprint Power-on

Security System. Check that your fingerprint is enrolled before configuring

the settings. See Manual for Fingerprint Registration/Enrollment

instructions.
1. Swipe your finger across the Fingerprint Sensor.
2. MENU appears in the lower right corner of the screen. Swipe (*) your

finger on the Fingerprint Sensor, and select Control Center from the

MENU items.

(*). It is recommended that the keyboard cursor keys (movement) and enter

key (selection) or the directional pad be used when selecting an Item from

the Menu in laptop or landscape modes.

If the fingerprint authentication fails, please logon using the Windows logon

password.
Please logon using the Windows logon password if the fingerprint

authentication failed for three consecutive tries. To logon using the

Windows logon password, enter the Windows logon password at the

"Welcome" screen as normal.
A warning message will be displayed when authentication is abnormal or

authentication is not successful within a fixed duration.

It is necessary to register the User Password before using the

Fingerprint Power-on Security and its extended function, the

Fingerprint Single Sign-on Feature. Please use TOSHIBA Password

Utility to register the User Password.

If you fail fingerprint authentication more than five times, you must

enter the User Password or Supervisor Password manually to start the

computer.

When swiping, please do it slowly and at a constant speed. If this does

not improve the authentication rate, please adjust the speed.

If there are any changes in the environment or settings related to

authorization, you will be required to provide authorization information

such as a User Password or Hard Disk Drive password.
