Using passwords helps prevent your computer from being used by others. Once you set a password and

enable it, a prompt appears on the screen each time you power on the computer. Enter your password at the

prompt. The computer cannot be used unless you enter the correct password.

Note: This password can be a combination of one to seven alphanumeric characters.

For more information about how to set the password, refer to the online help information system on the right

screen of the BIOS program.

Note: To enter the BIOS program, press F1 when the Lenovo logo is displayed on the screen while the

computer is starting up.

With the fingerprint reader, in addition to registering fingerprint information and using it as a password for

Windows operating system or Web site logon, you also can launch applications quickly and encrypt private

data with your fingerprint to secure your computer. For more information, refer to the online help information

system of the fingerprint software.
