    What can i do to see only the fingerprint option on the windows logon page?
    I don't want to login using a password ever.

    There's a setting in the Protector Suite options that allows you to hide the Ctrl-Alt-Del prompt... although personally I'd keep the option active, just hide it. That way, if your sensor fails (or you lose a finger!), you won't lose your ability to log in. ;)

    That's why I'm so happy the bios fingerprint has a time out, so you can enter both your bios and hdd password :p
