PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an actuating method for electronic equipment whose OS starts when either of a password and biological data match registered data as a method for user authentication before OS actuation. SOLUTION: When the power source of the system is turned on, a control part 3 decides whether fingerprint data are registered in a user identification data storage part 6 and whether a fingerprint sensor 2 is usable and displays a screen urging the input of a password at a display part 6 when a fingerprint is not registered or when the fingerprint sensor 2 is not usable. When fingerprint data are already registered and the fingerprint sensor 2 is usable, a screen urging the input of fingerprint data or a password is displayed at the display part 6. The inputted data are compared with the registered data and it is determined whether the system is actuated according to the comparison result, thus performing OS actuation/shutdown processing. |
