Fingerprint system boot authentication

General

The fingerprint authentication system can be used to replace the keyboardbased User Password authentication system when booting up.

If you do not want to use the fingerprint authentication system for password authentication when booting up, but prefer to use the keyboard-based system instead, press the ESC key or click Switch User button when the Fingerprint System Bootjuhu Authentication screen is displayed. This will switch the password input screen to the keyboard-based one.

It is necessary to register the User Password before using the fingerprint Pre-OS feature and its extended function, the fingerprint Single Sign-On feature. Please use TOSHIBA HW Setup to register the User Password.

If you fail fingerprint authentication more than five times, you must enter the User Password or Supervisor Password manually to start the computer.

When swiping, please do it slowly and at a constant speed. If this does not improve the authentication rate, please adjust the speed.

If there are any changes in the environment or settings related to authorization, you will be required to provide authorization information such as a User Password and HDD password.

How to enable fingerprint system boot authentication settings

It is necessary to first enroll your fingerprint with the TrueSuite Access Maganer application prior to enabling and configuring the fingerprint Pre- OS feature.

Check that your fingerprint is enrolled before configuring the settings.

1.Swipe your finger across the fingerprint sensor. Or enter Windows password and click Next.

2.Click settings.

3.The Administrator Settings screen is displayed. Place a checkmark in “Enable Pre-OS Fingerprint Authentication” and click OK.

The modified configuration for fingerprint Pre-OS feature becomes effective the next time the system is booted up.
