  1. LOCKED OUT OF MY COMPUTER HELP!!!!


    I have a dell computer with a fingerprint login option. I cannot now use the fingerprint option. It only prompts me for my pin, which I forgotten. I click forgot my pin, and it keeps bringing me back to my pin. How do I reset my pin and get into my computer?

    :)

    Random Auto-Locking of Computer Screen

    Nobody suggested checking out Event Viewer?

    When your computer randomly locks, search for, and open: Event Viewer

    Under Windows Logs, Check out:
    • Application
    • Security, and
    • System

    See if you can find something that states anything that could be related to your computer locking. The newest events are listed at the top of each section, so finding an event log would be pretty easy to find. Hopefully we can find what is causing the computer to lock.
