Starting the computer by password
If you have already registered a password, there are two ways to start the
computer:
Swipe your fingerprint on the sensor if you have already registered the
fingerprint with the Fingerprint utility and enabled Fingerprint Power-on
Security. If you would not like to swipe your finger or cannot
authenticate the fingerprint for some reasons, press the ESC key or
click Switch User button to skip the fingerprint authentication screen.
You can try to swipe the fingerprint up to five times. If you failed
fingerprint authentication more than five times, you must enter the
password manually to start the computer.
Enter the password manually.:
To enter a password manually, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the power as described in Chapter 1, Getting Started. The fol-
lowing message appears:

If you enter the password incorrectly three times in a row, the computer
shuts off. In this case, you must turn the computer back on to retry
password entry.
