I have this annoying thing, i have to click on everytime i turn on my computer it says CSS User Identification.

Is any way to skip that? I would only like to slide my finger to log on in to my computer.


Any help is greatly appreciated.

Carlos.

It's not clear what you have done so far to setup fingerprint authorization.

First, you need to register your fingerprints using the CSS software in Windows. It should run you through the process. You'll have the opportunity to provide your fingerprints for Windows login and login at boot.

Next, you restart the computer and go to the BIOS (I'm going to give you the run through for how I have my security setup...you might not be as paranoid as I am).

Go to the "security" menu.

Go to the "password" menu.

Enable and set a "supervisor password".

Enable "Lock BIOS Settings."

Enable and set a "power-on password".

Enable and set a "harddisk1 password" using the "user" option.

(for convenience I use the same power-on and harddisk password but a different password for supervisor).

Enable "require password after hibernation."

Go back to the "security" menu.

Go to the "fingerprint" menu.

Select "security mode" and choose "High."

"Password Authentication" should show up as an option. Select it and choose "disabled."

Go back to the "security" menu.

Go to the "Security Chip" menu.

Choose "Activate".

Go to the "Security Reporting Options" selection that appears.

Disable all of the reporting options.

Go back to the "security" menu.

Go to the "BIOS update option" menu.

Set it to disabled.

Go back to the "security" menu.

Go to the "memory protection" menu.

Enable execution prevention.

Go to the initial BIOS menu.

Go to the "Config" menu.

Go to the "USB" menu.

Disable USB support (you can't boot from USB anymore until you re-enable this option).

Go to the initial BIOS menu.

Go to the "Start" menu.

Go to "Boot" menu.

Move ATA HDD0 up to spot #1.

Save and leave the BIOS.

The first time you use your fingerprint you may have to provide the password you setup in the BIOS.

At this point the computer will just ask for your fingerprint, you'll have no other option and certainly nothing to click.

If you want to update the BIOS you will need to disable all of the BIOS password options before you flash it.

smvp6459,

Would you recommend restoring the system first?

What do you mean?

Never mind i even didn't know what i was trying to say.

I followed your instructions and let me say now it works like a charm perfect!


Thanks for your help

Carlos.

I did exactly what you said and it works great thank's but , I encounter if can be called little problem? (I don't know if any of you experience this)
well, when I close the the lid it goes to stand by and when i resume to windows it ask me the swipe and the password but it shows only the background picture and not the task bar and nothing respond then I have to force the shut down by pressing and hold the pwr button.

I tried to modify the the security policies by only password and only finger and both but nothing happens I reconfigured the enrollment and settings and this cannot correct the problem.

Any help is really appreciate!!!!
