Laptop Fingerprint BIOS

I have an HP 6730b laptop, which is supplied to me by my employer. It has a fingerprint reader. So one day I decided it would be a good idea to setup the fingerprint reader to be a power on BIOS password. When you set it up for a BIOS password it also asks you for a normal word password to use as a backup plan.

The bad part now is that i don't remember what my password 'word' is. I have been using the fingerprint reader at power on for several months and I still do. But I would like to disable the BIOS fingerprint because my IT person complained that if I wasn't around they couldn't access my computer.

I can get into it with my fingerprint but it doesn't allow me to change the BIOS settings without the 'word' password.

Any ideas?
 
Can you restart the fingerprint setup again? My Toshiba will allow me to restart the whole setup again without the password.

Good luck

don.t flash the bios to reset password, i think that would only work for password protected bios. my solution would hopefully be a full system restore back to manufactures spec, which is much the same as a new install.
what was your password based on,, letters or a name.:D
 
Unfortunately by asking your question, it goes against this rule:
Cracking or bypassing an administrator/any other user log-in password.

Your question could be legit but we are not to know, looks like you will have to go back to your IT person to sort.
