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
switched on.
If you do not want to use the fingerprint authentication system for password
authentication when the computer is switched on, but prefer to use the
keyboard instead, simply press the
BkSP (backspace) key 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 an Item from
the Menu in laptop or landscape modes.
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 .

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 switched on.
■
If the fingerprint authentication process fails more than 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).
