    Are you using the Acer Bio protection program to save your login passwords? What computer are you using that came with the Acer BIO protection software?

    I think I am having the same problem with Acer Bio Protection. Hopefully this can be fixed with some elaboration:

     

    My computer is an Acer TravelMate 8172. I have replaced the original OS (windows 7 pro) with Windows 8(.1) pro x64 and have not installed any of the manufacturer drivers, as everything I need works out of the box. Except that I cannot change the registered fingerprints, so I installed Acer Bio Protection.

     

    I am stuck at the "Initial Wizard" (The one that asks me to locate the finger print reader and practice enrollment): The third screen of the wizard asks for the "Windows Logon Password". I enter my windows login password but it pops up the error "Password incorrect. Please try again."

     

    I have double checked and tried several times to eliminate typo's. The password is definitely correct yet Acer Bio Protection does not accept it. I have also tried my bios password instead but no luck. I used to have a PIN to log into windows 8 and I have tried entering my PIN instead of password, but no effect either. The last think I tried was disabling my PIN and trying again, but still it will not accept any password.

     

    Can anyone help me with this issue? I would really like to enroll more fingers than the single one I use now...

    I have an acer 5950G and i got the same problem from win 8 and win 10  like you all, guys this is a total shame on Acer support, its  just a driver to update, and then it could work fine but they dont care about  customers after they paid.

    Im really disappointed about it. So far no fix.
