If your notebook has a fingerprint reader, then it uses a version of BIOS with biometric support. This allows other hardware and software to support the fingerprint reader. For best performance, check hp.com for BIOS updates for your specific model. Enabling biometric support in the BIOS Some types of BIOS allow you to enable or disable individual hardware components. The biometric device is the hardware that controls the fingerprint reader. Depending on the model number of your computer, there are options in the BIOS to turn the biometric device on and off. To check your BIOS for biometric support and enable it:
- Press the Power button to start the computer, and press the F10 key to open the BIOS setup utility.
- Under System Configuration , look for a Biometric Device option; if it exists, enable it.
- Press F10 to save this setting and restart the computer.
