Window Logon Via Fingerprint Authentication - Toshiba Satellite A200 Series User Manual

Window Logon via FingerPrint Authentication

If required, you are also able to use FingerPrint authentication in place of
the usual Windows logon process using your username and password. This
method is specially useful where there are many users using the same
computer as it removes the need for actual user selection when the system
is started.
FingerPrint Authentication Procedure
1. Start up the computer.
2. At the Logon Authorization screen, choose any of the enrolled fingers
and swipe the FingerPrint on the sensor - If the authentication process
is successful, the user will automatically be logged into Windows.
If the FingerPrint authentication process fails you will need to log into
Windows using the appropriate username and password. In addition, you
should use this manual login process if Finger Print authentication fails for
three consecutive tries - a warning message will be displayed when
authentication is not normal or is not successful within a fixed duration.
FingerPrint Power-on Security
General
The FingerPrint authentication system can be used to replace the keyboard
based password authentication system that is used when the computer is
turned on.
If you do not want to use the FingerPrint authentication system for password
authentication when the computer is turned on, but instead prefer to use
the keyboard entry method instead, simply press the Back Space key or
the ESC/Rotation button when the FingerPrint Power-on Security screen is
displayed. Using this process will switch the password input screen across
to the keyboard based entry screen.
You must ensure that you use the TOSHIBA Password Utility to register
a User Password before using the FingerPrint Power-on Security and
its extended function to allow FingerPrint to be used to access the
computer when it is turned on.
If the FingerPrint authentication process fails five times, a preset time
limit is exceeded, or you press the Back Space key, [Password=] will be
displayed on the screen and you will have to enter either the User
Password or Supervosor Password manually in order to start the
computer.
When swipe your finger, please ensure you do it slowly and at a constant
speed. If you find that this does not improve the authentication rate, you
should try to adjust the speed at which the finger is swiped.
If there are any changes in the environment or setting related to
authorization, you will be required to provide authorization information
such as a User Password (and, if applicable, the HDD (Hard Disk Drive)
password).
