Biometric software (Questions from a noob)

[eucatastrophe]

What is biometric software (fingerprint readers) and how do I determine if I have some on my computer?
How do I make sure that I have not disabled it?
What happens if I disable it?
How do I enable it if I accidentally disable?
What can I do NOT to accidentally disable it? o_O

Thanks!

Do you have a place where you can slide your finger over a little black bar?

no a touchpad isn't a biometric reader

laptops usually don't come with biometrics if it did the box it came in would probably say so with bold letters
