Hey!

OK, need some help!

I have been reading the previous posts about how to reconnect my fingerprint reader...but I am having no luck. 

Under Device Manager, Validity Sensor does not even show up and I have downloaded the software..multiple times...and windows says there is no Biometric devices on my computer??

HP Simplepass disappeared when I upgraded to Windows 8 Pro just the other day...

What should I do??

Hello DOCTOR-KAMEL,

I see that you are having problems with the fingerprint reader on your HP computer. I would like to help with this issue but I need some information.

Can you provide the model and product number of the computer? Here is a link showing how to find that information.

I installed the Validity software from http://www.validityinc.com/software/hp/wbf.php on Windows 7. I had to clear and re-enrol my fingers but it works fine. YAY

Hope this helps someone

I found that when I go to hibernate HP pavilion M6, I don't close my computer until it is completely powered down (lights off and everything). Every time I allow it to hibernate all the way before even closing my laptop, the fingerprint reader works every time I go to resume my work. That could be a individualistic thing with just my computer but I've tried redownloading the software trying to fix the issue internally, and this is the only physical way I could figure to work consistantly.

How do I get the fingerprint reader to be detected after a Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade. It worked fine before that. Have tried every fix from updating/uninstalling drivers, changing software interfaces and cleaning it off; along with changing the power management settings from the device manager. I at a lose at this point.

What am I not doing? What should I do? Help please
