Operating Basics
FingerPrint Power-on Security
General
The FingerPrint authentication system can be used to replace the keyboard
based password authentication system that is used when the computer is
turned on.
If you do not want to use the FingerPrint authentication system for password
authentication when the computer is turned on, but instead prefer to use
the keyboard entry method instead, simply press the Back Space key or
the ESC/Rotation button when the FingerPrint Power-on Security screen is
displayed. Using this process will switch the password input screen across
to the keyboard based entry screen.
How to Enable FingerPrint Power-on Security Settings
It is necessary to first enroll your FingerPrint with the Protector Suite QL
application prior to enabling and configuring the FingerPrint Power-on
Security System. You should check that your FingerPrint is enrolled before
configuring the settings (please refer to the Manual for FingerPrint
Registration/Enrollment for further instructions.)
1. Swipe your finger across the FingerPrint Sensor.
2. MENU will appear in the lower right corner of the screen. Swipe(*) your
finger on the FingerPrint sensor and then select Control Center from the
items presented in this menu
(*) It is recommended that the keyboard cursor keys (movement) and enter
key (selection) or the directional pad be used when selecting and item from
the Menu in laptop or landscape modes.
■ You must ensure that you use the TOSHIBA Password Utility to register
a User Password before using the FingerPrint Power-on Security and
its extended function to allow FingerPrint to be used to access the
computer when it is turned on.
■ If the FingerPrint authentication process fails five times, a preset time
limit is exceeded, or you press the Back Space key, [Password=] will be
displayed on the screen and you will have to enter either the User
Password or Supervosor Password manually in order to start the
computer.
■ When swipe your finger, please ensure you do it slowly and at a constant
speed. If you find that this does not improve the authentication rate, you
should try to adjust the speed at which the finger is swiped.
■ If there are any changes in the environment or setting related to
authorization, you will be required to provide authorization information
such as a User Password (and, if applicable, the HDD (Hard Disk Drive)
password).
