Starting the computer by password

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.

To enter a password manually, follow these steps:

1. Turn on the power as described in Chapter 3, Getting Started. The

following message will appear in the LCD:

Enter Password [xxxxxxxx]

2. Enter the Password.

3. Press Enter.

Power-up modes

The computer has three different power-up modes as follows:

■ Shut down mode: The computer will shut down without saving data - in

view of this you must always save your work before you turn the

computer off.

■ Hibernation Mode: Data in memory will be saved to the hard disk drive.

■ Sleep Mode: Data will maintained in the computer's memory.

Windows utilities

You can configure various settings associated with both Sleep Mode and

Hibernation Mode within the Power Options (to access it, Start  Control

Panel  System and Maintenance  Power Options).

The password is necessary only if the computer was shut down in boot

mode, not in Hibernation or Sleep mode.

At this point, the hotkeys Fn + F1 to F9 do not work. They will function

after you enter the password.

If you enter the password incorrectly three consecutive times, the

computer shuts down. You must turn on the computer again and re-enter

the password.

Please refer to the sections Turning on the power and Turning off the

power in Chapter 3, Getting Started for further information.
