Welcome

Congratulations on your purchase of a Microsoft® ngerprint reader. With the ngerprint reader, you can enjoy the freedom and convenience of logging on to Microsoft Windows®, Web sites, and programs without having to type a password. The ngerprint reader is not a security feature. You should not use the ngerprint reader to access corporate networks or protect sensitive data, such as nancial information.

Install the Software First!

You must install DigitalPersona® Password Manager software for the ngerprint reader to work.

Important If you want to use your ngerprint to switch between Windows user

accounts, you must turn on the Welcome screen and Fast User Switching before you install DigitalPersona Password Manager software. For more information, see “Using Your Fingerprint to Switch Between Windows User Accounts” later in this manual.

To install DigitalPersona Password Manager software

1 Insert the DigitalPersona Password Manager software installation CD into your

computer’s CD drive. If the Setup screen does not appear automatically, do the following:

• Click Start, and then click Run.

• Type [drive]:setup. For example, if your CD drive is drive E, type e:setup

2 On the Setup screen, click Next, and then follow the

Installation Wizard instructions on the screen.

3 During Setup, the Installation Wizard will prompt you

to plug in the ngerprint reader. Plug the rectangular universal serial bus (USB) connector into your computer’s USB port, and then continue following the on-screen instructions.

Note If the Found New Hardware Wizard is displayed after you plug in your ngerprint reader, follow the instructions on the screen.

4 Restart the computer, if prompted to do so. After you restart your computer and log on to your Windows user account, you

can begin registering ngerprints. For more information, see Step 2, “Register Fingerprints.”

Caution Before replacing a password with your ngerprint, it’s a good idea to

memorize or store the password in a physically secure place. You will not be able to access the passwords stored in the software installed with the ngerprint reader.

You can use your ngerprint reader to log on to Windows, Web sites, and programs without having to type a password. If you have the Welcome screen and Fast User Switching turned on, you can even switch between Windows user accounts without closing your programs and les—all with the touch of a nger. For information about the Welcome screen and Fast User Switching, see Windows Help.

Important If your computer is a member of a domain, you cannot use your

ngerprint to log on to Windows, you must use your password. However, after you have logged on to Windows, you can use your ngerprint to log on to the Web sites and programs that you have created ngerprint logons for.
