Operating Basics

The fingerprint authentication system can be used to replace the keyboardbased 
User Password authentication system when booting up. 
If you do not want to use the fingerprint authentication system for password 
authentication when booting up, but prefer to use the keyboard-based system 
instead, press the BACK SPACE key when the Fingerprint System Bootjuhu 
Authentication screen is displayed. This will switch the password input screen to 
the keyboard-based one. 

It is necessary to first enroll your fingerprint with the Protector Suite QL applica-
tion prior to enabling and configuring the Fingerprint Power-on Security System.
Check that your fingerprint is enrolled before configuring the settings. See Man-
ual for Fingerprint Registration/Enrollment instructions.

1. Swipe your finger across the Fingerprint Sensor.
2. MENU appears in the lower right corner of the screen. Swipe your finger 

overtop of the Fingerprint Sensor, and select Control Center from the 
MENU

 items.

3. The Fingerprint Software Management screen is displayed to select 

 → Power-on Security. 

❑ It is necessary to register the User Password before using the 

Fingerprint Power-on Security 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.
