Delete Fingerprints for Preboot Authentication

To clear Preboot Enrollment manually, you must have access to EMBASSY Security Center or the Dell BIOS. Clearing Preboot Enrollment involves a series of clearing various BIOS level passwords. You will need to know these passwords in order to clear them.

Note: If you have forgotten a BIOS password, you will need to contact Dell Customer Support for assistance in recovering the password.

• To perform these steps in ESC, open ESC, navigate to the Preboot Manager section, select Advanced, and select the BIOS Passwords tab.
• To perform these steps in the Dell BIOS, reboot the system and press F2 at the Dell Splash Screen to enter the BIOS and navigate to the passwords section.

1. If you currently have a System password set, change the password to a null value and apply the change to clear it. If you do not have a System password set, please skip to step 2.
2. To clear Preboot Enrollment, the Administrator password must be cleared. The actual act of clearing this password will clear Preboot Enrollment as well. Please follow the appropriate step below depending on whether you currently have an Administrator password set or not:
• If you currently have an Administrator password set, simply change the password to a null value and apply the change to clear it as well as Preboot Enrollment.
• If you do not currently have an Administrator password set, you will need to first create one. Set the Administrator password to a simple temporary value such as “1234” and apply the change. Next, change the password to a null value and apply the change to clear it as well as Preboot Enrollment.

Preboot Authentication should now be cleared along with any fingerprints enrolled for Preboot Authentication.
