I would like my computer to just pop on without the fingerprint reader or using a password. I set up the fingerprint reader but I don't remember setting up a password so I would just like to eliminate the need for the fingerprint reader. I know this makes my computer more vulnerable but I live alone and when someone is over, my kids or friends, I would like them to be able to get on my computer without calling me over to scan my fingers, over and over. I set up the fingerprint reader as a fluke just to see it work and then could not figure out how to eliminate the reader without setting up a password. This is what it tells me when I try to eliminate the fingerprints.

iT,S VERY SIMPLE.... Click (windows icon) in lower left corner (which is start windows) then select control panel then select user accounts. you will see your account name from there just select the option to delete your password and when you restart computer it will just boot up with you having to log on. bettr thing to do for your children is to when you go to user accounts is to select create new account name it whatever you want for the kids do not assign a password to it and make sure that it is just an ordinary user account and not an administrator account that way they cant delete anything or make changes to your computer that could damage the operating system. you should really think about it b4 you just let em have full control over it.
