Customizing Your VAIO Computer
Logging Onto Your System
To use the fingerprint authentication functionality in place of password entry to log onto your system, you need to set the
power-on, hard disk, and Windows passwords and configure your computer for fingerprint authentication.
For setting the power-on, hard disk, and Windows passwords, see Setting the Password (page 102).
For detailed information, see the help file on Protector Suite QL.
Logging onto Windows
If you have enrolled your fingerprints for your user account, you can substitute fingerprint authentication for Windows
password entry. To log onto Windows, swipe the finger with the enrolled fingerprint across the fingerprint sensor when the
Windows log-on screen appears.
Power-on Security feature
If you have set the power-on password (page 102) and/or the hard disk password (page 107), you can substitute fingerprint
authentication for password entry when starting your computer.
