  1. How do I reset my password when I can log into my laptop using PIN AND FINGERPRINT


    I have a fingerprint sensor and a pin to log into my system both of which I use regularly. I now can not remember the password for lack of usage. How can I reset the password without which I cannot modify any security feature???


    When:

    1. it looks like I have no security questions added

    2. my local password is different from that of my outlook account

    3. I have full access to my laptop and admin rights

    4. I need to update security features

    :)

    Forgot Admin Password and Pin, usually use fingerprint but now requires pin!

    I usually use my fingerprint to log into the admin account which I do so rarely. I have a few other non-admin accounts on the laptop.

    When I tried to log into the admin account today with the fingerprint it asks for my pin as well?! This seems to be an issue with some new update. So now I cannot access the admin account since I do not know the pin or password (although the fingerprint
    is recognized and requires an extra pin to be approved)

    This is entirely retarded, do I no longer have admin access for Windows 10 and I DO NOT WANT TO WIPE OUT MY COMPUTER TO RESTORE ADMIN ACCESS BEFORE ANYONE SUGGESTS THAT.

    Prefer Fingerprint Reader use Password Instead of PIN


    I just purchased a modest Toshiba laptop to replace my five year old HP laptop. Being new to W10, I am not impressed with and do not trust the use of a PIN rather than a sophisticated password.

    The USB reader I bought for the Toshiba is an Eikon using Authentec driver. I dislike the apparent limitation of Windows Hello to only associate the fingerprint reader with the PIN. But my real issue is that this prevents my using the FP reader to also open my password program.

    On my HP laptop, I have this capability with SimplePass. I actually attempted to install HP's SimplePass on the Toshiba, but it would not install.

    Unless I'm overlooking a way to do this with W10, I'm looking for a utility that will store password(s) for use by the FP reader both for logon and accessing, at the minimum, my password program.

    I do not wish to change the password for my password program to the Hello PIN just to achieve the dual function.

    Any enlightenment and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Mike

    I can't log in with my pin or fingerprint anymore? When my computer goes to sleep, it also won't wake back up without a turn off and turn on?
