Lenovo Welcome

The Lenovo Welcome program introduces you to some innovative built-in features of Lenovo and guides you through a few important setup tasks to help you make the most of your computer.

Fingerprint Software

The integrated fingerprint reader provided on some keyboards enables you to enroll your fingerprint and associate it with your power-on password, hard disk password, and Windows password. As a result, fingerprint authentication can replace passwords and enable simple and secure user access. A fingerprint reader keyboard is available with select computers or can be purchased for computers that support this option.

Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox

The Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox program helps you maintain your computer, improve computing security, diagnose computer problems, get familiar with the innovative technologies provided by Lenovo, and get more information about your computer. See “Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox” on page 105 for detailed information.

Product Recovery

The Product Recovery program enables you to restore the contents of the hard disk drive to the factory default settings.

ThinkVantage Client Security Solution

The ThinkVantage Client Security Solution program is available on select Lenovo computers. It helps protect your information, including vital security information like passwords, encryption keys, and electronic credentials, while guarding against unauthorized user access to data.
