Solved HP Simple Pass 2012 not detecting fingerprint scanner?

[Superluigi6]

Hi there,

Today I was going to enable my HP Simple Pass 2012 software again, but then I got a notification saying "the sensor was not connected". I tried tons of videos, from system scans to going into Device Manager. But it did not work.

Please help someone-would gladly appreciate it

Try this:

Start> In search box type Programs and features> Enter> See if you can find a listing for Validitity> Single click the listing and see if you get a repair option

If it asks if you want to uninstall it, say no.

You can also go to Device manager, and under Biometric devices see if Validity sensor is listed, and if it is working correctly.

You might also try to see if there is a newer driver version on the HP site, especially if you haven't used the feature for a while.
