Fingerprint system boot authentication

General

The fingerprint authentication system can be used to replace the keyboard based 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 BACK SPACE key when the Fingerprint System Boot 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.
