Swiping your nger over the reader
To swipe your nger over the reader, place the ball of your nger, that is, the central part of the ngerprint, on
the small circle above the reader. Make sure that the entire top joint of the nger is on the reader. Then Apply
light pressure and swipe your nger across the reader in one smooth motion.
Logging on to the system
After you enroll your ngerprint, log on to the system by doing the following:
1. Set a power-on password or a hard disk password, or both.
2. Turn your computer off and then on again.
3. When prompted, swipe your nger over the reader.
4. On request, type your power-on password, your hard disk password, or both. The enrolled ngerprint is
now associated with your power-on password, your hard disk password, or both.
The next time you start the computer, you can log on to the system by swiping your nger over the
reader once.
Attention: If you always use your ngerprint to log on to the system, you might forget your password. Write
down your password, and keep it in a safe place. If you forget it and for some reason you cannot swipe
your nger across the reader, for example, if you injure that nger, you cannot start the computer or change
the password.If you forget your power-on password, you must take your computer to a Lenovo authorized
servicer or a marketing representative to have the password canceled.
