Overview about Fingerprint Single sign-on feature
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 boot authentication and this 
fingerprint Single sign-on feature. Please use the 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 the 
Windows Logon Password.
