How do I reset the fingerprint scanner on the Toshiba laptop?

My fingerprint scanner won't recognize my fingerprint. How do I reset it, because I forgot my password?

>How do I reset it, because I forgot my password?
Sorry but if this can be reset so easy then every stolen notebook can be reset.
Are we writing here about notebook protection or what? :)

Hi,
Fingerprint scanners are not popular enough devices to be supported by Java yet. There's no general API or Java interface for it.
Each manufacturer of a fingerprint device will probably just ship their own drivers or SDKs. More than likely DLL's, so you'd need to write some JNI to call them.
If you want to allow your application to work with multiple devices, you will have to design it to do that. Ie. write a general "Fingerprint" interface, and write a class which implements that interface for each device you want to support.
Eg.
public interface FingerPrintAPI
     public void initialiseScanner ( )
            throws MyScannerException;
     public byte[] getFingerPrint ( )
            throws MyScannerException;
     public double getMatchProbability ( byte[] fingerprint1, byte[] fingerprint2 )
            throws MyScannerException;
     public void closeScanner ( )
            throws MyScannerException;
}I haven't used a fingerprint device at all, but that's how I would approach it.

Sometimes when I unlock my 5s using the fingerprint scanner it takes a blank picture!

I'm a bit puzzled by this one, but one occassioin when I'm using the fingerprint scanner to perform an unlock from the phone being asleep, it will snap a picture of the black screen and save it in the photos. I hear the shutter sound and that's how I know it has occured. Very randomly, but I do notice that when it does happen, it seems like it's when I hold the button down (as if I was going to call up Siri) a bit longer, but not long enough to bring Siri to my attention. It's hard to reproduce the problem on command, but it's something that will happen at least once a day.
Anyone else have this happen?

Seriously?!! Nobody elese is having this problem?!! I must have a defective phone! It does this about half the time I use the fingerprint scanner to perform a wake from sleep/unlock!

Thanks for your reply. Having read through relevant topics it suggests that if I sync my iphone with the correct account on my pc it should use that one thereafter. i will try both.

Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, when you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.

If you rub the edge of the fingerprint scanner in a circle, why does the screen drop down?

MY daughter was drawing circles around the metal part of the fingerprint scanner and noticed the screen contents moves to the bottom of the screen instead of the top. Then it goes back to the top when touched again. Why does it do this?

That is a feature of the 6 & 6 plus. I believe it is called reachability. It moves the furthest section of the screen down to allow for one handed use.

The Fingerprint scanner doesn't work on my HP ProBook 6455b

Now, I installed HP Simplepass, but nothing happens and when I attemp to enter my Windows password, it says "invalid". I checke Device Manager and it says under Biometric Scanner, Validity Scanner, and updated it.
Please help and let me know if you have any suggestions; it would make an even better birthday, especially being 6000miles away from home as a student-ambassador for Germany (Congress Bundestag Youth Exchange)-US State Department/CB

Hi,
See if you can access the notebook in Safe Mode as follows.
Shut down the notebook. Tap away at f8 as you start the notebook to enter Windows Recovery Console. Use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode and hit enter.
If you can access your Admin account in this mode, click the Start Menu, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools and launch System Restore. Pick a restore point before the SimplePass update and then proceed with the restore process. When complete, Windows will reboot as normal. See if your original password/finger scan now works.
Hope it works..

Can't Log in to Windows using the fingerprint scanner.

Hi,
I've had my HP ENVY MJ-j120dx Coe i7 (Windows 8.1 64-bit), product number E8A11UA#ABA for about a year now, and I did a full system wipe using the recovery software that was built in. Before the wipe the fingerprint scanner worked perfectly, however after the wipe the built-in fingerprint scanner no longer works for me to log-in to windows. The device is listed in the manager and is functioning fine. I can use it to scan my fingerprint and register it in the Accounts tab of PC settings. However it does not work to unlock windows. I don't have the message about fingerprint sign-in has been disabled or anything. And I can use it with HP Simple Pass and it works fine, the light to the left of the scanner lights up. But when I try to sign-in to windows it doesn't light up at all or register that I'm swiping my finger acrossed it. Any suggestions to a solution?

Load the default settings in the BIOS, shut down the notebook and then restart it and go back into the BIOS to ensure that the Biometric sensor (fingerprint scanner) has been ebabled.

My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

Your old ID connects to an icloud account containing all your data (email, contacts, etc.) If you then use a different ID, you will connect to a different account, which results in losing all your "apple" data, like emails, contacts, calendars, etc.
However, Apple IDs are also used to connect to an itunes store account, with is different. You can keep using the old itunes store ID to keep all your purchases (but if you change to a different ID, you will lose all purchased items) and use the new ID for icloud (but losing emails, contacts, etc. from the old account).

How do I reset or delete settings in the Messaging...

How do I reset or delete settings in the Messaging section on a 6790? I input something that I need to delete.

You can only reset the password if you know the original. Apple did not make a back door to this as it would be insecure.
Why do you want to start again? If you just want to start again click create new keychain. Then you start from scratch and the old keychain is kept in ~/Library/keychains just incase you remember your password.

Is there a fingerprint scanner in the next iPad?

Hello,I want to know that if will there a fingerprint scanner on the next iPad or not?
What do you expect?

Apple does not comment on unannounced products and this forum is for support for people with existing products, not speculation. But there are plenty of Apple sites on the web you with forums suitable for speculation so try googling.

HP ENVY 17 G0U21AV - Is there a way to disable the Fingerprint Scanner?

I am using an HP ENVY 17 G0U21AV Windows 8.1.
This model came with a fingerprint scanner in the lower left of the computer. While this seems like a nice feature, it's not one that I am planning on using (I use LastPass for my passwords). I keep accidentally running part of my palm over the scanner which will bring up the screen for HP SimplePass. This can come up at the most inopportune moments, and it can get quite annoying trying to always conciously avoid the fingerprint scanner.
Is there any way to disable the fingerprint scanner?
Thanks.
This question was solved.

@DSWJoshua,
Thanks for posting. You can disable the fingerprint reader. To be thorough, I will provide steps to disable the driver itself, and Biometric support, so you don't have to worry about it later.
To disable the Driver, go to Control Panel, then Device Manager. Expand Biometric devices. Right-click on the Validity sensor and Uninstall.
To turn off biometric support, go to Control Panel, then Biometric devices. Uncheck Allow users to log on to Windows using their fingerprints and then save it.

Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.
