Operating Basics Windows Logon via Fingerprint Authentication If required, you are also able to use fingerprint authentication in place of the usual Windows logon process using your username and password. This method is especially useful where there are many users using the same computer as it removes the need for actual user selection when the system is started. Fingerprint Authentication Procedure 1. Start up the computer. 2. At the Windows Welcome screen, choose any of the enrolled fingers and swipe the fingerprint on the sensor - if the authentication process is successful, the user will automatically be logged in to Windows. If the fingerprint authentication process fails you will need to log into Windows using the appropriate username and password. In addition, you should use this manual login process if fingerprint authentication fails for three consecutive tries - a warning message will be displayed when authentication is not normal or is not successful within a fixed duration. Fingerprint Pre-OS Authentication General The fingerprint authentication system can be used to replace the keyboard based password authentication system that is used when the computer is turned on. If you do not want to use the fingerprint authentication system for password authentication while booting up the computer, instead you prefer using the keyboard entry method, simply press the BACK SPACE key when the Fingerprint Pre-OS Authentication screen is displayed. Using this process will switch the password input screen across to the keyboard based entry screen. User's Manual 4-7
