Starting the computer by password

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

■Swipe your fingerprint on the sensor if you have already registered the fingerprint with the Fingerprint utility and enabled Fingerprint Power- on Security. 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 more than 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 shut down in boot mode, not in Hibernation or Sleep mode.
