How to Enable Fingerprint Pre-OS Authentication Settings
It is necessary to first enroll your fingerprint with the Fingerprint Application
prior to enabling and configuring the Fingerprint Pre-OS Authentication
System. You should check that your fingerprint is enrolled before
configuring the settings (please refer to the Manual for Fingerprint
Registration/Enrollment for further instructions).
1. To run this program, click Start All Programs TrueSuite Access
Manager TrueSuite Access Manager with Admin Privileges.
2. UserAccountControl screen is displayed, click the Allow button. This
setting can only be changed if the currently logged in user has
administrator privileges.
3. Swipe a registered finger on the fingerprint sensor.
4. Click the Setting menu at the True Suite Access Manager screen.
5. Administrator Setting screen is displayed, check the "Enable Pre-OS
Fingerprint Authentication" check box and then click OK.

■ You must ensure that you use the TOSHIBA Password Utility to
register a User Password before using the Fingerprint Pre-OS
Authentication and its extended function to allow fingerprints to be
used to access the computer when it is turned on.
■ If the fingerprint authentication process fails five times, a preset time
limit is exceeded, or you press the BACK SPACE key,
[Password = ] will be displayed on the screen and you will have to
enter either the User Password or Supervisor Password manually in
order to start the computer.
■ When swiping your finger, please ensure that you do it slowly and at a
constant speed. If you find that this does not improve the
authentication rate, you should try to adjust the speed at which the
finger is swiped.
■ 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, if applicable, the HDD (Hard Disk
Drive) password).
