Figures... oh well, I'd rather have to type in my passwords than use that POS internet explorer.

I've not messed with one of these before, but it seems to me that you could write software for it that could take the input and direct it into Mozilla or any other, i might try one of these out, just for fun, and mess with the software a bit. The sweetness factor is relatively high for a fingerprint reader.

You do know that it takes about 10 seconds to reset the BIOS password no matter what machine you are using.
 
10 seconds?

Does that include the time it takes to open the case, take out the battery & wait?

But resetting some laptop bioses take longer.

You don't have to wait, take the battery out, short the battery terminals and your in. Laptops can be a little more of a pain cause you have to know where the reset button is or battery depending on the model. Ok so 10 secs may be a little quick, but a BIOS password still doesn't make your computer that secure.
