Logging In to Your ProtectDrive-secured PC
Overview
When the ProtectDrive-secured PC is powered on, it will boot normally. The first screen
that displays will depend on how ProtectDrive is configured to allow users to log in to the
PC.
The default (high resolution) pre-boot screens shown in the following examples have a
black background. If high resolution is not supported, then the pre-boot screens have a
white background, which is typical of the legacy pre-boot screens shown on page 7.
These low resolution screens function virtually the same as their high resolution
counterparts. Please note the following:
Legacy pre-boot screens do not support fingerprint logon or auditory prompting.
If both Password Domain and Token Domain authentication options are
configured, the legacy screens do not include an initial pre-boot screen (shown in
the first example below), which allows the user to choose the login method.
Instead, the user can press the [F2] function key to toggle between these two login
screens.
Default Pre-boot Login Screens
When the computer is started, an initial pre-boot screen displays if the system is
configured to allow either User ID/Password/Domain login or Smart Card/Token and
PIN/Fingerprint login. If a PIN-only login is allowed, then this screen does not display. If
the wrong login method is selected here, press Esc to return to this initial screen.
