Using the fingerprint reader

Depending on the options you ordered, your computer might have an integrated fingerprint reader. By
enrolling your fingerprint and associating it with a power-on password, a hard disk password, or both
passwords beforehand, you can start the computer, log on to the system, and enter ThinkPad Setup by
swiping your finger over the reader, without typing a password. Thus fingerprint authentication can replace
passwords and enable simple and secure user access.
Enrolling your fingerprint
1. Turn on your computer.
2. To start Lenovo Fingerprint software, refer to "Lenovo programs" on page 14.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to enroll your fingerprint. For details, refer to the Help for the
program.
