I have just got my new computer with vista on it and the computer also has a fingerprint scanner. However i dont have a clue as to how to make the fingerprint become a password. Im not computer savvy so simple instructions are the best.
View 5 RepliesI purchased reader a month ago anticipating use on my new computer that just arrived. Then I find it will not work with Vista 64. I got spoiled with it on XP. Does anyone know when software will be available for Vista 64?If not does anyone know of a good fingerprint reader that is compatable with Vista 64?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm completely new at this lap top thing, and I hate the fingerprint logon function. I want to get rid of it from my welcome screen so I looked and went into the Fingerprint Reader Suit, clicked on Settings, then System Settings, got a pop up window, clicked on the Logon tab to try and switch from Fingerprint Logon to Standard Windows Log on but that screen is greyed out and it doesn't allow me to switch off the Fingerprint Logon!!!! How do I change it and delete the icon from my welcome screen!!?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently updated a bunch of drivers on my Inspiron 1525 with Vista Home Premium 64bit; and, now the Fingerprint logon icon is on my login screen. It wasn't there before and I don't believe it was a part of my updating. I have searched everywhere for the Fingerprint Driver and have not found it or anything that could be linked to it. I wish to remove its annoying presence from my computer.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get the Fingerprint Reader to work, but no luck! When I start the "Fingerprint registration wizard', I get the following message: "Error Invalid class string. Suspect installation problem." I have un-installed, re-installed at least 10times. no luck. I got the newest software from MicroSoft, DPPM_201_ENG.exe. (it says: VISTA Compatible).Mouse works just fine. I googled for an answer, I found the same problem that others also have, but nobody had an answer. I installed also under Windows XP, there it works perfectly with the same installation software. Checked at the MS-knowledge base, fix recommendations are more than 2 years old, tried it anyway, still no luck. Changed USB ports, ran it as Windows XP compatible, tried really everything, I am really at a loss. Hopefully someone out there has/had the same problem and got it working? After 2 days of trying I'm really getting..., well you know what I mean!
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with two things: Installing the fingerprint reader(have re-installed vista, have worked before) don't work. The innstall just disappeares and nothing happens after that. And the dvd station opens all the time, without anyone touching the computer. It happened after I reinstalled vista, have reinstalled before, but didn't happen then. It still reads cd/dvd's, but opens itself all the time.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have Vista Home Premium on an Acer Laptop and all was fine until I decided to change my user password. I had or have (who knows now at this stage) an Administrator,User and HDD password installed on my machine. I went into my setup and changed my user password from set to clear but left my other passwords at set. when I exited and saved changes and rebooted I could not get back in with any and all passwords. To make things worse I cannot boot from cd either. It goes to press <F2> go to setup , Enter Current Password: ? then Invalad password I have tried the F10, F12, Del, F5, F8 keys and nothing seems to get past that login screen. Does anyone have any inexpensive suggestions on how I can get into this computer, or how I can get to a command prompt. Can I un-solder the internal Battery and then re attach it.

We tried to go into the safe mode but the only screen we get is his password sign on screen. Even during boot we pressed f8 key but the password screen came up.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have my computer, and I need to set a password, but if I do, what happens is that it loads the user selection screen first, even though I'm the only user. Because of that, if I turn on my computer, go downstairs to do something,and come back up 5 minutes later, the computer will be stuck on the user selection screen, whereas if I don't have a password, it'll automatically load all the applications (this takes a while...).
Is there any way to still have to enter a password to unlock the computer, but so that Windows would first load all the programs, and THEN ask me for a password?
anybody knows how can i unlock my pc if i don't have the password.

I have heard of the "administrator password" for a super-administrator.
But I have never "set" the "administrator password" or "super admin
password".
I do, however, have a user account with admin privileges that I set a
password to.
Is that the same thing? Does my creating a user account with admin
privileges and password make the password for the super-admin the same, or
will the vista admin password still remain blank?
I'm wondering if this is the case, if a hacker tried to break into my system
to grab files, if I never set the administrator/super-admin password, does
that mean there is none, and they just walk right in,
or does it default to the password I have on my user account with admin
privileges?
My daughters forgotten her password on her laptop, i have tried all the usual methods to get in to it but to no avail, in both normal and safe mode, we don't have the XP disc as she bought the laptop from a friend, i have even thought about downloading ophcrack but it seems a bit long winded and a little confusing.

I am overseas for a while. So to be able to access my Vista computer at home, I installed Log Me In program, which works great for me in other environments. However, I've found out that I can't access my PC because the account on my Vista box does not have a password set (e.g. it's blank). Log Me In, it turns out, requires a password.
However, I am able to get to other computers (all running Windows XP) on my home network (i have 4 PCs in the house doing various things) via Remote Desktop and VNC. My question is whether it is possible to remotely (via Windows XP computers that are on my network) change the password for the account on my Vista computer?
It just happened now, after almost 2 years. When I open WM, it asks for my username and password, every time. Before I do a system restore, I 'd like to know if there is reason for that, and if there is another way to fix this annoyance.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to log into Windows Vista x64 and... The computer - NOT I - forgot my password. (ie: the password I normally use is not working.) I am running Windows 7 Ultimate (a special waadaad Promo version I received at the #PopTech! Conference last October) via VMWare on my Mac. I only use this for Quicken, and it's been a couple of months since I've opened it. I need to get in there ASAP, as I have a meeting with my accountant and need to make major updates by Monday. I have not created a password reset disk, and I definitely do NOT want to lose the Quicken data I already have entered.

View 5 Replies View RelatedHave had Vista now for three months, I set up windows mail with my pop3 email accounts and everything worked fine. Then one day I could not send messages without this error coming up: The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the "I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.
However, also windows no longer remembers my password AND when it does or when I enter it manually it, it wont log on but comes up with the enter password screen again which I cant get passed. All the details are correct and I am at a loss as to why all my email accounts are doing this? I have more than one email provider so its not anything that end as none of them working.
