Use the fingerprint reader

If your computer comes with a fingerprint reader, you can use it to enroll your fingerprints. After enrollment, you can tap your finger on the fingerprint reader to log in to Windows.

Enroll your fingerprints

  1. Type Sign-in options in the Windows search box and then press Enter.

  2. Select the fingerprint setting and then follow the on-screen instruction to enroll your fingerprint.
    Note: It is recommended that you put your finger at the middle of the fingerprint reader during enrollment and enroll more than one fingerprint in case of any injuries to your fingers. After the enrollment, the fingerprints are associated with the Windows password automatically.

Associate your fingerprints with your power-on password and hard disk password

  1. Turn off and then turn on the computer.

  2. When prompted, scan your finger on 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 in to the computer without entering your Windows password, power-on password, or hard disk password. To change the settings, go to the UEFI BIOS menu.

Attention: If you always use your fingerprint to log in to the computer, you might forget your passwords. Write down your passwords, and keep them in a safe place.
