fingerprint with the Fingerprint utility and enabled Fingerprint Power-on
Security. 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 more than five times, you
must enter the password manually to start the computer.
Enter the password manually.
