Lenovo Welcome
The Lenovo Welcome program introduces you to some innovative built-in features of Lenovo and guides you
through a few important setup tasks to help you make the most of your computer.
Fingerprint Software
The integrated ngerprint reader provided on some keyboards enables you to enroll your ngerprint and
associate it with your power-on password, hard disk password, and Windows password. As a result,
ngerprint authentication can replace passwords and enable simple and secure user access. A ngerprint
reader keyboard is available with select computers or can be purchased for computers that support this
option.

either the Lenovo Solution Center program or the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox program for diagnostic
purposes. For additional information about the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox program, see “Lenovo
