Swipe your fingerprint on the sensor if you have already registered the fingerprint with the Fingerprint utility and enabled Fingerprint System Pre-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 turned off in boot mode or Hibernation Mode.

It is not needed in Sleep Mode and Restart.

To enter a password manually, follow the steps as detailed below:

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

Password=

At this point, the hotkeys FN + F1 to F12 do not work. They will function after you enter the password.

2.Enter the Password.

3.Press ENTER.

If you enter the password incorrectly three times in a row, or if you don’t enter the password within 1 minute, the computer shuts off. In this case, some features that can power on the computer automatically (Wake-up on LAN, Task Scheduler, etc) may not work. You must turn the computer back on to retry password entry.
