Using Fingerprint Authentication
Logging Onto Your System
To use the fingerprint authentication function in place of a password entry to log onto your system, you need to set the power-
on, hard disk, and Windows passwords and configure your computer for fingerprint authentication.
For setting the power-on, hard disk, and Windows passwords, see Setting the Password (page 108) .
For detailed information, see the help file included with the Protector Suite.
Logging onto Windows
If you have registered your fingerprints for your user account, you can substitute fingerprint authentication for Windows
password entry. To log onto Windows, swipe the registered finger across the fingerprint sensor when the Windows log-on
screen appears.
Power-on Security feature
If you have set the power-on password (page 110) and/or the hard disk password (page 116) , you can substitute fingerprint
authentication for password entry when starting your computer.
