Vista wakes to login screen

I'm running Vista and the Microsoft Finger Print Reader and am having what I
would call an inconvenience. Every once in a while Vista wakes up from
sleep. But being I'm using the Fingerprint reader it gives me 2 icons. My
login as Admin and another which I can't use. My wife is setup the same as
mine buy if hers wakes up it wakes to Windows and not the login screen. Of
course hers will go back to sleep after the set time but mine will finally
shut off the monitor but the computer still runs. Is there anyway to make
it bypass the fingerprint reader if it does wake and go right to Windows?
There are no options in the Fingerprint program for anything except to store
passwords. Any ideas how I can work around this?

If UAC enabled, then click on -Change settings that are currentl
unavilable-

I am also NOT running any kind of logon password. Only time I need
Fingerprint Reader is for passwords on different websites.
