than one user.

Portal. (If your administrator has set up auto-start, the portal will open automatically.)
3. Click Enroll additional user.
4. Enter the user's intranet credentials, Windows credentials, or hardware account credentials according
to the policy on the server.

hardware account credentials for the additional user.
The enrolled additional user will have user or administrator right in the BIOS, according to the role of the
group, user, administrator, or service tech.

Removing a user from a Hardware Password Manager device

When a user should no longer have access to a Hardware Password Manager device, you can remove the
user to terminate access. When a user is removed, only that user's credentials are removed from the
hardware account. Hardware credentials remain on the device, and other users' credentials are not affected.
To remove a user from a Hardware Password Manager device:
1. Log in to Windows.

Unregistering a device from the Hardware Password Manager server

A device can be unregistered from the Hardware Password Manager server in two ways:
• The user can open the Hardware Password Manager Login Menu in the BIOS and unregister the device.
(See To open the Hardware Password Manager Login Menu.)
• The administrator can unregister the device using the Hardware Password Manager administration tools in
the ThinkManagement Console.
After the device is unregistered, the Hardware Password Manager functionality is no longer in effect unless
the device is registered again with the Hardware Password Manager server.
