Can fingerprint security on a computer or flash drive be cracked? How secure is it?

Some laptops, for instance from Dell, and some PDAs, and some flash drives (such as SanDisk Profile) have a built in fingerprint recognition for security. Can this be hacked? Could a motivated civilian computer geek do it? or would it take heavy-duty resources like FBI or NSA to do so? I keep mildly sensitive files on my flash drive and want to keep these safe if I lose the flash drive. I am computer-challenged and know zilch about security. Any thoughts?

Anybody interested in a Sahara i440d Tablet PC great for school? Or suggestions on how to sell it?

I have a three month old Tablet that is very nice, it has a 2gb RAM, 80gb hard drive, 3 yr warranty, biometric fingerprint scanner, Plustek opticbook scanner, stand, and MS office on it.

I just don’t want this great Tablet to go to waste- I’ve posted this on Tablet PC forums and craigslist. Does anybody else have suggestions for selling it?

I have forgotten my password and challenge question’s answer to my yahoo’s mail. How can I retrieve my passwd?

The problem is that I can get into my mail through my Desktop PC via Fingerprint keyboard, but not my Notebook PC. So now I can only access this mail from my main computer only.
