instructions to finish the enrollment.
During the enrollment, the fingerprints are associated with the Windows password automatically. It is
recommended that you enroll more than one fingerprint in case of any injuries to your fingers.
Log in with your fingerprint
If the fingerprint reader indicator blinks in amber, the authentication is not successful.

your Windows password, power-on password, or hard disk password. To change the settings, go to the
BIOS menu.
