Set the backup password. This backup password can be used in case of
hardware failure to bypass the fingerprint authentication. We recommend
using a strong complex password. If you do not define the backup
password, you can lose your data in case of authentication hardware
failure.
Using boot security
1 Boot Security protects your computer by subjecting boot-ups to fingerprint
identification. To use this function, select "Enable Boot Security" in the
User Enrollment application window.
2 Boot Security can also be enabled at a later date via the Settings menu.
Fingerprint system boot authentication
The fingerprint authentication system can be used to replace the keyboard-
based User Password authentication system when booting up.
If you do not want to use the fingerprint authentication system for password
authentication when booting up, but prefer to use the keyboard-based system
instead, press the ESC key when the fingerprint system boot authentication
screen is displayed. This will switch the password input screen to the keyboard-
based one.
