Fingerprint System Boot Authentication - Toshiba Satellite A210 User Manual

Fingerprint System Boot Authentication

General
The fingerprint authentication system can be used to replace the keyboardbased
User 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 BACK SPACE key when the Fingerprint System Bootjuhu
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
HW Setup to register the User Password.
❑ If you fail fingerprint authentication more than five times,
you must enter the User Password or Supervisor Password
manually to start the computer.
❑ 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 a User Password and HDD password.
