Starting the computer by password
If you have already registered a password, there are several 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 System
Pre-Boot Authentication. If you would not like to swipe your finger or
cannot authenticate the fingerprint for some reasons, push the BACK
SPACE key to skip the fingerprint authentication screen. You can try
to swipe the fingerprint up to five times. If you failed fingerprint
authentication five times, you must enter the password manually to
start the computer.
Enter the password manually.
The password is necessary only if the computer was turned off in boot
mode or Hibernation Mode.
It is not needed in Sleep Mode and Restart.
To enter a password manually, follow the steps as detailed below:
1. Turn on the power as described in Chapter 1, Getting Started. The
following message will appear in the screen:
Password=
At this point, the hotkeys FN + F1 to F12 do not work. They will function
after you enter the password.
2. Enter the Password.
3. Press ENTER.
