BIOS password fingerprint change Latitude e6420
I have an older laptop (Latitude e6420), that I originally setup with a BIOS password and fingerprint verification. Since then the OS was updated to Win10, and I used the laptop only as a backup. I want to give this computer to my daughter, and while she can get in, I would like the BIOS to accept her fingerprint. How do I do that?
The WIN10 installation was not with a "DELL Version", so I probably don't have all the DELL software pieces that came with the original Win7 installation. Is there anything that I would need to accomplish this?

You need the Control Vault software and the UPEK fingerprint driver:

For Windows 10, see here:
