How to Enable Fingerprint System Boot Authentication
Settings
It is necessary to first enroll your fingerprint with the OmniPass application
prior to enabling and configuring the Fingerprint System Boot
Authentication System. Check that your fingerprint is enrolled before
configuring the settings. See Manual for Fingerprint Registration/
Enrollment instructions.
1. Click on the System Settings tab in the OmniPass Control Center.
2. Click on PBA Settings.
3. Click on Enroll PBA Authentication Device.
4. Check the Enable System Boot Authentication checkbox.
■
It is necessary to register the User Password before using the
Fingerprint System Boot Authentication and its extended function,
the Fingerprint Single Touch Boot Feature. Please use TOSHIBA
Password Utility to register the User Password.
■
The Single Touch Boot Feature cannot function if Windows’s secure
logon function (requiring users to press Ctrl + Alt + Del) is set to ON.
To use this feature, please disable the secure logon function. Note,
however, that disabling the secure logon function might lead to security
problems.
■
When Fingerprint System Boot Authentication is configured, a new
24 MB hard disk partition is created to store the configuration
information for administration purposes. Please do not delete this
partition. If the partition is deleted, Fingerprint System Boot
Authentication will not function anymore and the User/BIOS Password
as well as any sub-passwords, if elected, including the Hard Disk Drive
and Supervisor Passwords will have to be re-entered via the keyboard.
■
If this hard disk partition is deleted by mistake, check that the hard disk
drive has at least 24 MB of empty space, set the Enable System Boot
Authentication checkbox from PBA Settings in the OmniPass
Control Center to off, end this utility, restart the system and set this
checkbox to on again. Refer to
How to Enable Fingerprint System Boot
. This will restore the hard disk partition storing
the configuration information and allow Fingerprint System Boot
Authentication to function again.
■
For systems that used the Fingerprint System Boot Authentication
function before but had their OS reinstalled, please reregister the
User Password after first releasing the User Password in the system.
Failure to do so will result in Fingerprint System Boot Authentication
not functioning properly.
■
When swiping, please do it slowly and at a constant speed. If this does
not improve the authentication rate, please adjust the speed.
■
This function can only be used when booting up the OS from the
built-in hard disk drive.
