„ Using VeriFace, „ Using passwords | Lenovo Y550P manual

Chapter 2. Using Your Computer

Using VeriFace™

VeriFace is a face recognition software which takes a digital snapshot, extracts key features of your face, and creates a digital map that becomes the system’s “password”.

Note:

The face registration and verification works best in a environment with steady and even light.

For more instructions on VeriFace, see the help file on your software.

Using passwords

Using passwords helps prevent your computer from being used by others. Once you set a password and enable it, a prompt appears on the screen each time you power on the computer. Enter your password at the prompt. The computer cannot be used unless you enter the correct password.

Make sure that only authorized individuals access your computer. Establishing different kinds of passwords requires that other possible users know the proper passwords in order to access your computer or your data. This password can be from one to seven alphanumeric characters in any combination.

For details about how to set the password, see the Help to the right of the screen in BIOS Setup Utility.

Note:

To enter BIOS Setup Utility, press F2 when starting up your computer.
