Starting the computer by password

If you registered a password, there are three ways to start the computer:

Insert an SD card token before you turn on the computer. The computer

will start normally, without displaying a password prompt.

Swipe your fingerprint on the sensor if you have already registered the

fingerprint with the Fingerprint utility and enabled Fingerprint System

Boot Authentication. If you would not like to swipe your finger or cannot

authenticate the fingerprint for some reasons, push the BkSp 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.
