    Hi, can anyone help me please.....

    When logging into my laptop, i have been useing the finger print reader, and have been since bought laptop(nearly 4 weeks now). I don't remember setting password also, but have never needed it.

    When switched laptop on this mroning, the little finger print scanner on top left hand corner of screen has gone.

    I can now not get into laptop useing finger print reader. I don't have password(when press enter says enter password).

    So now i can't get into laptop. I have no recovery disks.

    Can anyone explain why the finger print reader has suddnely gone, and more importantly how i can get into laptop.

    Thank you.

    Did you try and boot into safe mode to see what is going on, also on some computers the default password is Administrator
