If you have already registered a password, there are three ways to start the computer:

■Insert an SD Card token before you turn on the computer. The computer will start normally, without displaying a password prompt.

■Swipe your fingerprint on the sensor if you have already registered the fingerprint with the Fingerprint utility and enabled Fingerprint System Boot Authentication. If you would not like to swipe your finger or cannot authenticate the fingerprint for some reasons, push the BACK SPACE key to skip the fingerprint authentication screen. You can try to swipe the fingerprint up to five times. If you failed fingerprint authentication five times, you must enter the password manually to start the computer.

■Enter the password manually.

The password is necessary only if the computer was Shutdown and Hibernation in Boot Mode.

1.Turn on the power as described in Chapter 1, Getting Started. The following message will appear in the screen:

S Password=2.Enter the Password.3.Press ENTER.

If you enter the password incorrectly three times in a row, the computer shuts off. In this case, you must turn the computer back on to retry password entry.
