Using the fingerprint reader
Depending on the model, your computer might have a fingerprint reader. Fingerprint authentication can
replace your passwords, such as the Windows password, power-on password, and hard disk password. In
this way, you can log in to your computer simply and securely.
To enable fingerprint authentication, enroll your fingerprints first. During the enrollment, the fingerprints are
associated with the Windows password automatically. To associate your fingerprints with your power-on
password and hard disk password, manually create a connection.
Enrolling your fingerprints
It is recommended that you enroll more than one fingerprint in case of any injuries to your fingers. To
enroll your fingerprints, do the following:
• For Windows 7
1. Start the fingerprint program. For instructions on how to start the fingerprint program, see “Lenovo
programs” on page 14.
2. Enter the Windows password as required.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to finish the enrollment.
For more information about how to use the fingerprint reader, refer to the help system of the fingerprint
program.
• For Windows 10
1. Open the Start menu and click Settings . If Settings is not displayed, click All apps to display all
programs, and then click Settings ➙ Accounts ➙ Sign-in options .
2. Follow the instructions on the screen to finish the enrollment.
