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 prefer to use the keyboard-based system instead of the fingerprint
authentication system for password authentication when booting up, 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.
How to enable fingerprint system boot authentication settings
It is necessary to first enroll your fingerprint with the TrueSuite Access
Manager application prior to enabling and configuring the fingerprint
Pre-OS feature.
Check that your fingerprint is enrolled before configuring the settings.
1. Swipe your finger across the fingerprint sensor, or enter the Windows
password and click Next.
2. Click settings. The Administrator Settings screen is displayed.
3. Place a checkmark in “Enable Pre-OS Fingerprint Authentication” and
click OK.
The modified configuration for fingerprint Pre-OS feature becomes effective
the next time the system boots up.
■ If the fingerprint authentication fails, please logon using the Windows
logon password.
■ Please logon using the Windows logon password if the fingerprint
authentication fails for five times. To logon using the Windows logon
password, enter the Windows logon password at the [Welcome]
screen.
■ A warning message will be displayed when authentication is abnormal
or authentication is not successful within a fixed duration.
■ 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.
