Starting the computer by password
If you have already registered a password, there are three ways to start the
computer:
■ Insert an SD card token before you turn on the computer. The computer
will start normally, without displaying a password prompt.
■ Swipe your fingerprint on the sensor if you have already registered the
fingerprint with the Fingerprint utility and enabled Fingerprint System
Boot Authentication. If you would not like to swipe your finger or cannot
authenticate the fingerprint for some reasons, push the BkSp key to
skip the fingerprint authentication screen. You can try to swipe the
fingerprint up to five times. If you failed fingerprint authentication five
times, you must enter the password manually to start the computer.
■ Log on with the Tablet PC Pen when in Tablet mode. Refer to Tablet
mode section in this chapter.
■ Enter the password manually.
To enter a password manually, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the power as described in Chapter 1,
Getting Started . The
following message will appear in the LCD:

Password=
2. Enter the Password.
3. Press Enter.
The password is necessary only if the computer was Shutdown and
Hibernation in boot mode.
It is not needed in Standby and Restart.
If you enter the password incorrectly three times in a row, the computer
shuts off. In this case, you must turn the computer back on to retry
password entry.
