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 108).

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.

For detailed information on logging onto Windows, click Start, All Programs, Protector Suite QL, and Help to read the help file.

Power-on Security feature

If you have set the power-on password (page 108) and/or the hard disk password (page 113), you can substitute fingerprint authentication for password entry when starting your computer.

For detailed information on the Power-on Security feature, click Start, All Programs, Protector Suite QL, and Help to read the help file.
