Associating your fingerprints with your power-on password and hard disk password
To associate your fingerprints with your power-on password and hard disk password, do the following:
1. Turn off and then turn on the computer.
2. When prompted, swipe your finger over the fingerprint reader.
3. Enter your power-on password, hard disk password, or both as required. The connection is created.
When you start the computer again, you can use your fingerprints to log on to the computer with no need to
enter your Windows password, power-on password, and hard disk password.
Attention: If you always use your fingerprint to log on to the computer, you might forget your passwords.
Write down your passwords, and keep them in a safe place. If you forget your power-on password, you must
take your computer to a Lenovo authorized servicer or a marketing representative to have the password
canceled. If you forget your hard disk password, Lenovo cannot reset your password or recover data
from the storage devices. You must take your computer to a Lenovo authorized servicer or a marketing
representative to have the storage devices replaced. Proof of purchase is required, and a fee will be charged
for parts and service.
