security: User and Supervisor.

To start the utility, point to or click the following items:

Click to register a password of up to 8 characters. After a password is 
set, you will be prompted to enter it when you start the computer.

■

Click to delete a registered password. Before you can delete a password, 
you must first enter the current password correctly.

■

 (text box)

You can use this box to associate text with the password. After you enter 
text, click Apply or OK, then, each time the computer is switched on, 
this text will be displayed along with the prompt for the password.

If you set a supervisor password, some functions will be restricted when a 
user logs on with the user password. To set a supervisor password:

 

 SECURE  Supervisor password

This utility lets you do the following:

■

Register or delete the supervisor password.

■

Specify restrictions for general users.

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

■

Swipe your fingerprint on the sensor if you have already registered the 
fingerprint with the Fingerprint utility and enabled Fingerprint Power-on 
Security

. 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 more than five times, 
you must enter the password manually to start the computer.

■

Enter the password manually.
