How to set a password to connect instead of the fingerprint?

With age some women lose their fingerprints.  How can I set up a password for my username so I don't have to rely on fingerprints?  I put the password "under tension" but that was of no help.  Thanks in advance.

Hi AdventureGal,

You can add a password for your user account...

Control Panel > display icon > user accounts > change your password

Add / change your password

  • Use a decent password
  • NOT your date of birth, not your dog, cat, bird and not your social security number or your license number...
  • NOT your child's birthday or name...
  • Write it down.
  • Do NOT place it in your freezer in a vase, in the medicine cabinet or piano stool.  Do not paste it under the desk, it sticks inside a drawer or write on the bottom of the laptop.

The smile.

  • If you just want to add the word of the past and KEEP the imprint, and then SPEND the next part...

==================================================================================

If you want to REMOVE the fingerprint Login

Control Panel > biometric devices > settings biometric change >

CHECK Biometrics offshore

 

Beware of the warning to the subject he remove the connection information of fingerprints.

==================================================================================

One of the things I always like to do:

Create an additional account on your computer with admin privleges.

Do not use the account for anything.

Give him a password really well.

Note the password and put it in your safe... your friend house... in your garden under a very large rock in your neighbour's garden... a place where you can find it.

After that, you'll be a lot more close to being a real hat-wearing-paranoid Admin - and you won't get locked out of your computer, because you have forgotten your original password or your original account is messed up.

As for the loss of fingerprints...

  • Register a few extra fingers.
  • You can do so at any time.

I hope this helps!

BTW:

I'd be careful of this password power on ...   Additional security is good as long as you can deal with this property.  The smile.

    MN - 700 router worked for a while (over 3 years) without password. How to set a password?

    This is a pretty old router, but documentation is still available from Microsoft:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902461 the 'Guide' is more complete, but the "Base Station Configuration Guide" will explain how to configure the router.

    I guess what you mean by a "password" is the password for the wireless encryption (there is also a password that controls access to the router configuration utility). The following are the basic steps to configure wireless encryption (see the documentation for more details and screenshots):

    1. utility access to the router configuration, preferably with a computer connected to the router with an Ethernet cable (if you change your wireless security, the parameters using a computer connected to the router by wireless, the connection will be abandoned as soon as you click APPLY).  Open a web browser and type 192.168.2.1 in the browser address box.  If you have not changed the logon password, enter 'admin' (without the quotes, all lowercase).

    2. click on the "Security" link on the home page of the configuration tool, then "Wireless Security".

    3. Select the "niveau_chiffrement" in the combo box to "256-bit WPA - PSK (louder)" - unless all of your wireless devices are so old they don't support WEP (unusual for a wifi device years less than 5 or 6).

    4. in the box, type a password (between 8 and 63 characters), and then click 'apply '. at this point, you will be disconnected from the router (and the Internet) If you did the above changes using a computer connected to the router WiFi.   Write the password in a place where you don't forget.

    5. close router configuration utility.

    To set up your wireless computers:

    6. open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)

    7. right click on your wireless adapter icon and select Properties.

    8. click on the wireless networks tab

    9. make sure the box at the top next to "use Windows to configure my wireless."

    10. in the list of "Preferred networks", select the entry to your router (your network name), click on 'delete '.  [This deletes the entry from your wireless network WITHOUT a password, so that you will be able to add an entry for a network with the same name WITH a password.]

    11. click on the view wireless networks"" button.

    12. the name of your network should appear in the list of wireless networks.  Select it and click "connect". When you are prompted for the password, enter the WPA password set in the router configuration.

    13. open a web browser and confirm that you can access the Internet.

  • How to enter the password instead of the fingerprint

    I borrowed my brothers computer laptop HP with Windows 7 Home.  He gave me the password of connection and just say, "use the password instead of the fingerprint", but there is only the only thing user of icon on the login page and it requires the imprint, then, how to move if I put the password?

    So it's either fingerporint or nothing?  What happens if the fingerprint reader breaks?

    I expect that the reboot of the machine in Mode safe will not load finger fingerprint driver which would then expose the password input box.

    Activation of hardware assisted virtualization is in the BIOS of your motherboard. How depends on the BIOS and the hardware you have.

    If your system is a laptop or made by a major system provider such as Dell or HP, the system may not have the option in the BIOS, even if the hardware is able to use hardware assisted virtualization.

  • How to set up a no connection at startup

    Got a new iMac and I can't seem to understand how to configure a lack of connection at startup.

    My previous Setup (El Capitan) iMac allowed me to never have a 'get' on a login screen at startup, it just went directly on the desktop. I have had no password for the Admin, and although I have no password for the Admin with the new iMac (and no comments option) I'm always presented with a login screen at startup.

    What Miss me?

    Go to Preferences system--> security & privacy.  Is the box 'Disable the automatic connection' checked?  If this is the case, clear the check box.  Then, out of this component and go to users and groups.  Make sure your account is highlighted on the left, then click on "Connection Options".  -What is "Auto-connect" set on it?  If not, change it.

    Hello

    You cannot use a password to protect the files and folders in Windows.

    There are other ways to protect your files and folders in Windows. You can encrypt your files using EFS (ENCRYPTING File System), manually specify who can access the folders or files by setting permissions, or hide. Choose your method based on how to secure the folders or files must be. EFS is the more sure, hiding the folders is the least secure.

    For more information about EFS, see:
