About offline authentication
・To enable offline authentication, the PC must be successfully authenticated online once.
・Each time the PC is successfully logged in, the offline authentication period is updated.
e.g. Consider an offline expiration date set to 3 days.
If the PC is successfully logged on on April 1st, offline authentication will be enabled from April 1st to April 3rd.
If the PC is successfully logged on during the above period, it is effective for an additional 3 days from the date of successful authentication.
・Please contact your administrator for the offline expiration date.

Function to unlock the PC after a certain time
If the administrator has set up the “unlock after a certain period of time” feature, the PC will be automatically unlocked after a certain amount of time has elapsed.

If the PC is not unlocked after the set time has elapsed, or if you need to unlock the PC immediately, please contact your administrator.
6. Temporarily log on with a password only
The mode wherein users can temporarily log on to the PC with only the password is called the “Emergency Logon” state. This mode can only be set by the administrator.
