■You must ensure that you use the TOSHIBA Password Utility to register a User Password before using the Fingerprint Pre-OS Authentication and its extended function to allow fingerprints to be used to access the computer when it is turned on.

■If the fingerprint authentication process fails five times, a preset time limit is exceeded, or you press the BACK SPACE key, [Password =] will be displayed on the screen and you will have to enter either the User Password or Supervisor Password manually in order to start the computer.

■When swiping your finger, please ensure that you do it slowly and at a constant speed. If you find that this does not improve the authentication rate, you should try to adjust the speed at which the finger is swiped.
