Securityfunctions
Your notebook has several security features that you can use to secure your
system from unauthorised access.
This chapter explains how to use each function, and what the benefits are.
Please remember that in some cases, for example, forgetting your password,
you may be locked out and unable to access your data. Therefore,
please note the following information:
• Make regular backups to external data carriers such as external hard
drives, USB memory modules, DVDs or Blu-ray Discs.
• Some security functions need you to choose passwords. Make a note
of the passwords and keep them in a safe place.
If you forget your passwords, there is the option to unlock via the Fujitsu Service Desk,
depending on the used Password Severity setting. Deletion or resetting of passwords
is not covered by your warranty and a charge will be made for assistance.
If you change the Password Severity setting from Strong to Stringent in the Security
BIOS-Setup-Utility menu, the Fujitsu Service Desk can no longer reset the password.
In this case, the system can remain permanently unusable.

Whether or not your device has a fingerprint sensor depends on the
device configuration you have ordered.
The fingerprint sensor can record an image of a fingerprint. With additional fingerprint
software, this image can be processed and used instead of a password.
The current AuthConductor Client Basic software for hand vein and fingerprint sensor
is available on the Internet at
After selecting the product and the operating system, you will find the software
under Downloads, Applications, Tools and Utilities.
