Using passwords and Windows accounts

You can use BIOS passwords and Windows accounts to prevent unauthorized access to your computer and
data.
• To use BIOS passwords, see "Using BIOS passwords" on page 68.
• To use Windows accounts, do the following:
1. Click the Start button to open the Start menu.

Using fingerprint authentication

If your keyboard has a fingerprint reader, you can use fingerprint authentication to replace passwords for
simple and secure user access. To use fingerprint authentication, first enroll your fingerprints and associate
them with your passwords (such as the power-on password, hard disk password, and Windows password).
Use the fingerprint reader and the fingerprint program to complete this procedure.
To use fingerprint authentication, do one of the following:
• For Windows 7: Use the Fingerprint Manager Pro or ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software program provided
by Lenovo. To open the program, see "Accessing a program on your computer" on page 43. For more
information about using the program, refer to the help system of the program.
• For Windows 10: Use the fingerprint tool provided by the Windows operating system. Click the Start
button to open the Start menu, and then click Settings ➙ Accounts ➙ Sign-in options. Follow the
instructions on the screen.
To use the fingerprint reader, refer to the documentation shipped with the fingerprint keyboard or located on
the Lenovo Support Web site at http://www.lenovo.com/support/keyboards.

computer cover is not properly installed or closed.
