Using a ngerprint reader
Depending on the options you ordered, your computer may 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.
For more advanced security, Client Security Solution can be installed. The software is compatible with a
variety of user authentication mechanisms, such as those involving ngerprint authentication. This ngerprint
reader can work with the software.
Note: Client Security Solution is not preinstalled on your system. To download Client Security Solution,
go to http://www.lenovo.com/support.
Enrolling your ngerprint
1. Turn on your computer.
2. To start Lenovo Fingerprint software, refer to Fingerprint Software.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to enroll your ngerprint. For details, refer to the Help for the
program.
