Windows Logon Via Fingerprint Authentication; Fingerprint System Boot Authentication - Toshiba Satellite P500 User Manual

Operating Basics

Windows logon via fingerprint authentication

In place of the usual Windows logon by ID and password, fingerprint
authentication also allows logon to Windows.
This is especially useful when many users are using the computer, as user
selection can be skipped.
Fingerprint authentication procedure
1. Start up the computer.
2. The Logon Authorization screen is displayed. Choose any of the
enrolled fingers and swipe the fingerprint on the sensor. If
authentication is successful, the user will be logged on to Windows.
■ If the fingerprint authentication fails, please logon using the Windows
logon password.
■
Please logon using the Windows logon password if the fingerprint
authentication fails for five times. To logon using the Windows logon
password, enter the Windows logon password at the [Welcome]
screen.
■
A warning message will be displayed when authentication is abnormal
or authentication is not successful within a fixed duration.

Fingerprint system boot authentication

General
The fingerprint authentication system can be used to replace the keyboard
based User Password authentication system when booting up.
If you prefer to use the keyboard-based system instead of the fingerprint
authentication system for password authentication when booting up, press
the BACK SPACE key when the Fingerprint System Boot Authentication
screen is displayed. This will switch the password input screen to the
keyboard-based one.
■
It is necessary to register the User Password before using the
fingerprint Pre-OS feature and its extended function, the fingerprint
Single Sign-On feature. Please use TOSHIBA HW Setup to register the
User Password.
■
If you fail fingerprint authentication more than five times, you must
enter the User Password or Supervisor Password manually to start the
computer.
■
When swiping, please do it slowly and at a constant speed. If this does
not improve the authentication rate, please adjust the speed.
■
If there are any changes in the environment or settings related to
authorization, you will be required to provide authorization information
such as a User Password and HDD password.
