Using the fingerprint reader Depending on the options you ordered, your computer might have an integrated fingerprint reader. By enrolling your fingerprint and associating it with a power-on password, a hard disk password, or both passwords beforehand, you can start the computer, log on to the system, and enter the ThinkPad Setup by swiping your finger over the reader, without typing a password. Thus fingerprint authentication can replace passwords and enable simple and secure user access. For more advanced security, Client Security Solution can be installed. The software is compatible with a variety of user authentication mechanisms, such as those involving fingerprint authentication. This fingerprint reader can work with the software. Note: Client Security Solution is not preinstalled on Windows 7 models. You can download it from the Lenovo Support Web site at http://www.lenovo.com/support. Enrolling your fingerprint 1. Turn on your computer. 2. To start Lenovo Fingerprint software, refer to "Fingerprint Software" on page 16. 3. Follow the instructions on the screen to enroll your fingerprint.
