Use the fingerprint reader (for selected models)

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

Open the Start menu and then click Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options. Then, follow the on-screen instructions to finish the enrollment.

During the enrollment, the fingerprints are associated with the Windows password automatically. It is recommended that you enroll more than one fingerprint in case of any injuries to your fingers.

Log in with your fingerprint

Associate your fingerprints with your power-on password and hard disk password (20N2, 20N3, 20RX, 20RY, 20N4, 20N5, 20N6, 20N7, 20RH, 20RJ)

Turn off and then turn on the computer.
When prompted, scan your finger on the fingerprint reader.
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.

Maintain the fingerprint reader

To ensure that the fingerprint reader works correctly, do not:

Scratch the surface of the reader with anything hard.
Use or touch the reader with a wet, dirty, wrinkled, or injured finger.
