Using the fingerprint reader
Your computer has an integrated fingerprint reader. Fingerprint authentication can replace passwords and enable simple and secure user access. By enrolling your fingerprint and associating it with a Windows password you can log on to the computer by swiping your finger over the reader, without typing passwords.
Enrolling your fingerprint
To use the integrated fingerprint reader, begin by enrolling your fingerprint as follows:
1.Turn on your computer.
2.Do either of the following:
•If your system is installed with the Windows 7 operating system, to start the Lenovo Fingerprint software, refer to “Accessing Lenovo programs on the Windows 7 operating system” on page 12.
•If your system is installed with the Windows 8 operating system, to start the Lenovo Fingerprint software, refer to “Accessing Lenovo programs on the Windows 8 operating system” on page 14.
3.Follow the instructions on the screen to enroll your fingerprint. For details, refer to the help information system for the program.
Swiping your finger over the reader
To swipe your finger over the reader, do the following:
1.Place the ball of your finger (the central part of the fingerprint) on the small circle above the reader. Ensure that the entire top joint of the finger is on the reader.
