Fingerprint System Boot Authentication
General
The fingerprint authentication system can be used to replace the
keyboardbased User/BIOS Password authentication system when booting
up.
If you do not want to use the fingerprint authentication system for password
authentication when booting up, but prefer to use the keyboard-based
system instead, press the BkSP (backspace) key when the Fingerprint
System Boot Authentication screen is displayed. This will switch the
password input screen to the keyboard-based one.
