Using the fingerprint sensor
This product has a fingerprint utility installed for the purpose of enrolling 
and recognizing fingerprints. By enrolling the ID and password to the 
fingerprint authentication device, it is no longer necessary to input the 
password from the keyboard. Just by swiping the finger against the 
fingerprint sensor, the following functions will be enabled:
Logon to Windows and access a security-enabled homepage through 
IE (Internet Explorer).
Files and folders can be encrypted/decrypted and third party access to 
them prevented.
Disable the password-protected screen-saver when returning from 
power-saving (Sleep) mode.
Single-Swipe Sign-On feature.
Authentication of the User Password and Hard Disk Password when 
booting up the computer.
