Please swipe a finger at least once when these messages appears to enable fingerprint logon again. After that, users can logon with their enrolled fingerprint. An error message will show up when upgrading the application from 5.5. Users need to uninstall the 5.5 build, and then install 5.9.2. NOTICES ======= LENOVO GROUP LTD.
