there an easy way to reset the main password. When my external

If I may be so nosey to ask..................
Why exactly do you need a fingerprint reader to access your computer?
Is this a home computer or work?
If this is at home, who exactly is it that you dont trust that well.
I dunno........if I had to do all that at home just to get on my
computer, Id just throw the damn thing in the garbage and give up on
them all together.

One of my clients dropped off a computer with a fingerprint setup,
(probably screwing with me) I called him the next day to say it was
ready, & he said how did you get in.
I said I unplugged it and logged in, when it was gone the computer
adjusted and allowed normal log in. while I was in there I plugged it
in and gave my self a log in with the fingerprint scan with
administration privileges
Had that failed i would have used windows key;

I use "ophcrack", a free Windows password cracker.

It works quite well, especially when I find old
business computers in the dumpster.
