Using the fingerprint reader

Depending on the model, your computer might have a fingerprint reader. Fingerprint authentication can
replace your Windows password. In this way, you can log in to your computer simply and securely. To enable
fingerprint authentication, enroll your fingerprints first.
You can set the fingerprint reader in the fingerprint program if available. You also can change the following
settings in the ThinkPad Setup program. To change the settings in the ThinkPad Setup program, see "Using
the ThinkPad Setup program" on page 52.

Lenovo programs" on page 11.
