Erase Fingerprint Data to clear supervisor password?
Posted: Mon Jun 10, 2013 2:25 am
Using the fingerprint reader, I can power on the system and enter bios to change every settings. But I just forgot the password.
Fiddling with the bios settings, I noticed an entry: Erase Internal Fingerprint Data.
Which says:
Erase Internal Fingerprint Data - Yes and No are the options - This option is used to erase all fingerprint data stored in the fingerprint reader. After erasing, it will not be possible to boot a system with the fingerprint reader until power-on security is re-enabled in the fingerprint software.
Is erasing this a solution or a complication? Will it disable the supervisor password or will it lock me completely out of the system?
