Please logon using the Windows logon password if the fingerprint authentication failed for three consecutive tries. To logon using the Windows logon password, enter the Windows logon password at the Welcome screen as normal. A warning message will be displayed when authentication is abnormal or authentication is not successful within a fixed duration. Fingerprint System Boot Authentication General The fingerprint authentication system can be used to replace the keyboardbased User/BIOS Password authentication system when booting up. If you do not want to use the fingerprint authentication system for password authentication when booting up, but prefer to use the keyboard-based system instead, press the BkSP (backspace) key when the Fingerprint System Boot Authentication screen is displayed. This will switch the password input screen to the keyboard-based one. ■ It is necessary to register the User Password before using the Fingerprint Power-on Security and its extended function, the Fingerprint Single Sign-On Feature. Please use TOSHIBA Password Utility to register the User Password. ■ When swiping, please do it slowly and at a constant speed. If this does not improve the authentication rate, please adjust the speed. ■ If there are any changes in the environment or settings related to authorization, you will be required to provide authorization information such as username and HDD password.
