No sign in options when fingerprint recognition is blocked

Hi,

I am running Windows 10 on a Lenovo E50-70 laptop, it has a fingerprint scanner. If Windows does not recognise the fingerprint after two attempts, Hello automatically blocks fingerprint sign in.

I also have a password set for my account, so I should be able to sign in using that; however when I click on the 'sign in options' link - nothing happens. No other options appear. I am not able to sign in using a password.

If I press the power button, the computer sleeps, when it wakes again I get the same screen with no way to sign in. The only way I can get back to a sign in screen I can use is to pull the power plug and the battery, and kill the laptop. That is a drastic
and damaging option which I don't want to use.

I have tried removing and registering new fingerprints, but it seems that Windows Hello does not work as well as Lenovo's own fingerprint recognition software, and the lack of sign in options when it fails makes my computer effectively unusable.

Any ideas, please?

 

PIN + Fingerprint but no password option?


Preinstalled OS on new laptop w/fingerprint reader. Starting the machine I was prompted for a PIN and then my fingerprint but not a (the) password that I use on my Win7 machine and is required for various installed programs and the home network. I must be blind but Settings/Accounts/Sign-in Options is all for my MS account not the machine.

Nothing under Settings/Privacy or /Updates and Security.

Okay, I'll bite, where is 'give this OS a password' hidden?
