no single sign on (w/fingerprint) if hdd password is on

[skanky]

i've upgraded my x210s to a intel 320 ssd and read that i need to have the hdd password set for the encryption to have any point, however if i turn that password on, when i swipe to switch the machine on, it gets past the swipe screen but then it still prompts me for the hdd password.

i have laptop and hdd passwords set as the same but different to the windows password.

help, please?

AFAIK.. thats HOW ITS SUPPOSED to work!!!
due to security; you dont want to have a possibility of a USER changing and accessing "secured" data via his FP reader access.
Hope this helps

dont know what fixed it but it now gets me past both the system password and the hdd password with a simple swipe, im not complaining but it works as it used to for me so im happy.

not a clue, just turned it on and somehow it worked!! i was thinking the windows pass and the bios pass had to be the same but the morning i booted up to change the bios pass to see if this worked, it worked before i had the chance.

my bios and hdd passwords are of course the same.
