Introduction Fingerprint Utility This product has a fingerprint utility installed for the purpose of enrolling and recognizing fingerprints which can then be linked to a username and password in order to remove the need to input these details from the keyboard. Just by swiping an enrolled finger against the fingerprint sensor, the following functions will be enabled: n Logon to Windows and access a security enabled homepage through Internet Explorer. n Files and folders can be encrypted decrypted and third party access to them is prevented. n Disable the password-protected screensaver when returning from a power-saving mode such as Sleep Mode. n Authentication of the User Password (and, if applicable, the HDD(Hard Disk Drive) Password) when booting up the computer (Power-on Security). n Single Sign-on feature n Fingerprint security cannot be used in models that do not have a fingerprint module installed. n The HDD (Hard Disk Drive) Password can be registered in the BIOS Setup. If you forget your HDD Password, TOSHIBA will NOT be able to assist you, and your HDD will be rendered COMPLETELY and PERMANENTLY INOPERABLE. TOSHIBA will NOT be held responsible for any loss of any data, any loss of use or access to your HDD, or for any other losses to you or any other person or organization that result from the loss of access to your HDD. If you can't accept this risk, don't register the HDD Password. TOSHIBA Face Recognition TOSHIBA Face Recognition uses a face verification library to verify the face data of users when they log in to Windows. If the verification is successful, the user will be logged into Windows automatically. The user can thus avoid having to enter a password or the like, which makes the login process easier. 1-14 User's Manual
