Operating Basics Window 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 specially 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 Logon Authorization 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 into 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 Finger Print 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 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 turned on. If you do not want to use the FingerPrint authentication system for password authentication when the computer is turned on, but instead prefer to use the keyboard entry method instead, simply press the Back Space key or the ESC/Rotation button 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. ■ 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 FingerPrint 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 Supervosor Password manually in order to start the computer. ■ When swipe your finger, please ensure 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 setting 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). 4-8 Satellite P200D/Satellite Pro P200D
