Starting the computer by password

If you have already registered a password, there are two ways to start the

computer:

■

Swipe your fingerprint on the sensor if you have already registered the

fingerprint with the Fingerprint utility and enabled Fingerprint Power-

on Security. If you would not like to swipe your finger or cannot

authenticate the fingerprint for some reason, push the BACK SPACE

key to skip the fingerprint authentication screen. You can try to swipe

the fingerprint up to five times. If you fail fingerprint authentication more

than five times, you must enter the password manually to start the

computer.

■

Enter the password manually.

To enter a password manually, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the power as described in Chapter 3,

. The

following message appears:

2. Enter the password.
3. Press Enter.

Password=

At this point, the hotkeys Fn + F1 to F9 do not work. They will function after

you enter the password.

If you enter the password incorrectly three times in a row, the computer

shuts off. In this case, you must turn the computer back on to retry

password entry.
