You must ensure that you use the TOSHIBA Password Utility to
register a User Password before using the Fingerprint Pre-OS
Authentication 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
BACK SPACE
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).
