■ Registered
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.

user logs on with the user password. To set a supervisor password:

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.

The password is necessary only if the computer was shut down in boot
mode, not in Hibernation or Sleep mode.
