You may not be able to enroll and/or recognize your fingerprint(s) if your finger is dry or wet, wrinkled, injured, dirty, etc. Enroll more than one fingerprint in case of inability to recognize the fingerprint.

Logging Onto Your System
To use the fingerprint authentication functionality in place of password entry to log onto your system, you need to set the power-on and Windows passwords and configure your computer for fingerprint authentication. Sony assumes no liabilities for any problems and damages arising out of your use of the functions. After you have installed the Infineon TPM Professional Package, you need to set a few TPM passwords on your computer. Without these passwords, you will not be able to restore any TPM-protected data. Be sure to write down the passwords and keep them safe and private from other people. Be sure to make backup copies of the latest emergency recovery archive file, emergency recovery token file, password reset token file, and personal secret file and keep them safe and private from other people before sending your computer for repair. The data stored in the TPM that is embedded on the motherboard may be lost or corrupted during the course of repair. During the course of repair, the TPM may be replaced even if there are no problems with the modules. In such a case, use the backup copies of the emergency recovery archive file, emergency recovery token file, password reset token file, and personal secret file to restore the TPM configuration. Be sure to make a backup copy of the data stored on the hard disk drive before sending your computer for repair. The hard disk drive may be initialized and returned after the repair work and, in such a case, you will not be able to restore the data on the hard disk drive using the backup copies of the emergency recovery archive file, emergency recovery token file, password reset token file, and personal secret file.
