Fingerprint Utility

(Available on certain models.)

The fingerprint utility can be used to replace the keyboard-based

user password authentication system when booting up.

The fingerprint utility can also be used for user logon. The user’s

fingerprint is read; if the system recognizes the fingerprint, the user

is automatically logged on.
