FingerPrint Single Sign-On Feature
General
This is a feature that allows the user to complete the authentication for both 
the User/BIOS Password (and, if applicable, the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) 
Password) and logging onto Windows using only one FingerPrint  
authentication when booting up. It is necessary to register the User/BIOS 
Password and Windows Logon password before using the FingerPrint  
Power-on Security and this FingerPrint Single Sign On Feature. Please use 
TOSHIBA Password Utility to register your User/BIOS Password. If 
Windows Logon is not the default for your system, see Manual to register 
your Windows Logon password.
Only one FingerPrint authentication is required to replace the User/BIOS 
Password (and, if applicable, the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) Password) and 
Windows Logon Password.
