Does this safe have any back up methods of opening the safe in the event the fingerprint scanner fails?

Yes. There is a battery pack which allows you to open the safe in a different way and with a key.
1378783
Yes. It also comes with a key. There is also a 9v battery with plug that can be inserted from the outside to bypass the battery. You will still need your fingerprint to open the door.

Yes - A special key is provided. Its inserted into a slot behind a small cap just below the left side of the scanner. You can see the cap in the picture. It also comes with a remote battery pack that plugs into the reader should the batteries inside stop working. We have purchased two safes and are very happy with them.

Yes it is. You can open the Gunvault with the biometric print or the key. The bio unlock works great. I use the key just for safety e.g. down battery.

It's not really a fingerprint reader, but more of a combination lock. The tips of the finders are buttons, not scanners. The whole handprint thing is so you can put you hand in it in the dark and pop in the combination without turning on lights. So the short answer is yes, you can both use it as long as you both know the combo to unlock it.

No. The biometric version uses only the scanner. The safe does come with a mechanical key in case the scanner fails.

I see no reason why not. I would assume Windows will allow you to choose which fingerprint reader to use. At the very worst case, you could disable the on-board fingerprint reader in device manager (and probably should also uninstall any fingerprint manager software from HP as well to play safe) so Windows only see the new one.

Assuming you use windows, go to control panel>Display> screen Saver Settings, select a screen saver and then select a time to lock, then the logon screen displays, which with the Verifi installed will allow logon with either the password or an enrolled fingerprint. The fingerprint reader itself does not lock the system, just serves to replace the password with a fingerprint. The company that makes the reader, however, offers a selection of more advanced security software if you need it.

It is not a deadbolt which requires a key or fingerprint on both sides. Operation from the non fingerprint side is always unlocked. You can also put it in passage mode by hitting a button once authenticed or use the key.

Use the tool that came with the safe (just a hex-key, I recall) to remove the name-plate next to the scanner. The lock tumbler is beneath that, which you can then use your key to manually open the safe. FYI - I have found that the scanner is sensitive to how hard you press down your finger and if you pull your finger to one side or the other. Try different variations of pressure and direction.

Ask to return it for a refund. I wouldn't trust any version of this safe to be accessed quick enough for it's intended purpose, let alone with a faulty biometric sensor.

To reset what? If you're talking about the fingerprint reader, just do the programming steps over again.......Barska has a customer service number you can call....they are knowledgeable and helpful....I googled the company

Yes along with a key. I would recommend you buy something else. This really is an unreliable safe.

Most of the time the biometrics don't work, but if you get lucky and the safe opens by this method, then it only takes a couple of seconds to respond to the finger swipe.

I've purchased 2 now. They key pad is nice but the finger print piece will only work for around a year and then fail. I'd give up on the finger print idea until they figure it out. You can pick up a key pad lock cheaper at Home Depot. It's a bummer because I really liked it while it worked. You can read other reviews commenting on the same issue. Hold off for now.

I never had a problem opening the safe. You just can't forget the code or you are locked out for a few minutes. Had to replace the batteries only one time, which is easy. Never thought about finger pad not working. Hope I wont have to find out.

First, make sure when you enroll your fingerprints, you just place your finger on the window ...don't swipe it over it..it should be held still...also, I enrolled three fingers from my right hand so if one wouldn't work, one of the others might...last..make sure your finger and the device window are clear. I am assuming you used the software that came with it to enroll your fingerprints first?!
