The file described below is necessary for recovering the Fingerprint authentication
data. Back up this file periodically in a safe location such as removable disk to avoid
data loss resulting from some accidents. We recommend you to store the file in a
removable disk or network drive because the benefit of Fingerprint authentication
security can be reduced if you keep the file in the internal hard disk drive.
The backup password described below is necessary for bypassing the Fingerprint
authentication. We recommend you set the backup password using the “User En-
rollment” wizard. If you do not define the backup password, you may lose your data
in case of authentication hardware failure.
