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.
3. At the Fingerprint Software Management screen, click Settings and
then click Power-on Security.
4. At the Power-on Security screen, place a check mark in the Replace
the power-on and hard disk drive passwords with the fingerprint reader
setting and then click OK.
Fingerprint Single Sign-on Feature
General
This is a feature that allows the user to complete the authentication for both
the User/BIOS Password (and, if applicable, the HDD(Hard Disk Drive)
Password) and logging onto Windows using only one fingerprint
authentication when booting up. It is necessary to register the User/BIOS
Password and Windows Logon Password before using the Fingerprint
Power-on Security and this Fingerprint Single Sign-on Feature. Please use
the TOSHIBA Password Utility to register your User/BIOS Password. If
Windows Logon is not the default for your system, see Manual to register
your Windows Logon Password.
■ 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 fingerprints 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 BkSP (backspace) key, [Password
=] will be displayed on the screen and you will have to enter either the
User Password or Supervisor Password manually in order to start the
computer.
■ When swiping your finger, please ensure that 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 settings 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).
