How to disable fingerprint login (or any login, really)?

#1 Post by geeyoff » Mon Mar 12, 2007 9:04 am

Hi. I've got a t60 with a fingerprint reader, and I'd like Windows to automatically log me in instead of having to either scan my fingerprint or enter a password. I just can't seem to find the right option or dialog box anywhere... I've messed with the settings under "Thinkvantage Fingerprint Software," but to no avail. Can somebody please point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

You could use TweakUI (Microsoft) to log you in automatically.

Personally, because of the nature of my work, I have system and harddrive passwords attached, but I have it set to log me into windows if my Fingerprint is accepted.

Set up windows to use the welcome screen instead of the classic login. Then make sure you have only one account (besides Administrator) with no password. Windows should automatically login.
I have finally rejoined the dark side.
