Starting the computer by password

If you have already registered a password, there are two ways to start the
computer:
■
Swipe your fingerprint on the sensor if you have already registered the
fingerprint with the Fingerprint utility and enabled Fingerprint System
Boot Authentication. If you would not like to swipe your finger or cannot
authenticate the fingerprint for some reasons, push the BACK SPACE
key to skip the fingerprint authentication screen. You can try to swipe
the fingerprint up to five times. If you failed fingerprint authentication
five times, you must enter the password manually to start the computer.
■
Enter the password manually.
The password is necessary only if the computer was Shutdown and
Hibernation in Boot Mode.
It is not needed in Sleep Mode and Restart.
