Starting the computer by password

If you have already registered a password, there are three ways to start the 
computer:

■

Insert an SD card token before you turn on the computer. The computer 
will start normally, without displaying a password prompt.

■

Swipe your fingerprint on the sensor if you have already registered the 
fingerprint with the Fingerprint utility and enabled Fingerprint System 
Boot Authentication. If you would not like to swipe your finger or cannot 
authenticate the fingerprint for some reasons, push the BkSp key to 
skip the fingerprint authentication screen. You can try to swipe the 
fingerprint up to five times. If you failed fingerprint authentication 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,
