Changes to the CPU affect passkey functionality.
Changes to the CPU affect passkey functionality.
After changing the CPU, I received a message about FTPM and BitLocker that I wasn’t familiar with. I just pressed N without reading anything. There’s no BIOS option to clear or reset FTPM, and I’ve restarted the system multiple times but it still doesn’t work. I’ve tried several suggestions from ChatGPT, but nothing helped. I haven’t changed the motherboard settings either. The FTPM status shows “ready to use.”
The passkey was probably kept in the TPM. Using fTPM means the key is on the actual processor. Changing the CPU removes that access. Would you like to log in with a username and password again, assuming the BIOS hasn’t been reset?
I need to adjust the fan curves once more. I can log in as usual and generate as many passkeys as needed, plus remove the old ones, but signing in with a passkey always fails, regardless of the account.
Yes, you can reinstall the old CPU, secure the passkey information, and then reinstall everything as needed.
This might provide the solutions you're seeking. You'll need to confirm your answer or secure the key from the previous system. If that's not possible, consider resetting the TPM in BIOS. Alternatively, you could install a different CPU, respond 'Y' when prompted, and then swap back with your current unit. Success is likely!
I don’t see the reset ftpm feature in the BIOS, and I’ve tried several ways to access it. CMOS reset didn’t help either. It’s possible the option isn’t available due to system restrictions or hardware issues. A hard reset might work in some cases, but a Windows reinstall could resolve underlying problems. Consult your motherboard manual for specific steps.
I'm unsure about the exact motherboard or BIOS model, but resetting the CMOS probably won't solve the problem. The TPM functions independently from the BIOS settings. It's possible the feature isn't available if your BIOS is very old. You might try updating to the latest BIOS, though I'm not sure. Using a hardware reset tool could help, but it depends on your setup. If you don't have BitLocker enabled, it shouldn't interfere. Clearing the boot drive and installing fresh Windows should erase previous issues. Take care!
