    Hi everyone, new on the forum and the Z13.

    Overall very pleased with the machine, but I can't figure how to use the fingerprint reader to log in at power on. The bios menu has the option to clear fingerprint data, enable TPM..., but nothing for using the fingerprint reader.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    P.S: BIOS version is R3031C3

    The fingerprint doesn't really power on. There should be a pre-installed program that you run in order to enable it (protector suite).
