Customizing Your VAIO Computer

Logging Onto Your System

To use the fingerprint authentication functionality in place of password entry to log onto your system, you need to set the power-on, hard disk, and Windows passwords and configure your computer for fingerprint authentication.

For setting the power-on, hard disk, and Windows passwords, see Setting the Password (page 110).

For detailed information, see the help file on Protector Suite QL.

Logging onto Windows

If you have enrolled your fingerprints for your user account, you can substitute fingerprint authentication for Windows password entry. To log onto Windows, swipe the finger with the enrolled fingerprint across the fingerprint sensor when the Windows log-on screen appears.

Power-on Security feature

If you have set the power-on password (page 111) and/or the hard disk password (page 116), you can substitute fingerprint authentication for password entry when starting your computer.
