Using the ngerprint reader
Depending on the options you ordered, your computer might have an integrated ngerprint reader. By
enrolling your ngerprint and associating it with a power-on password, a hard disk password, or both
passwords beforehand, you can start the computer, log on to the system, and enter the ThinkPad Setup by
swiping your nger over the reader, without typing a password. Thus ngerprint authentication can replace
passwords and enable simple and secure user access.
Enrolling your ngerprint
1. Turn on your computer.
2. To start Lenovo Fingerprint software, refer to “Lenovo programs” on page 15.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to enroll your ngerprint. For details, refer to the Help for the
program.
