[ale] bypassing fingerprint scan to install Linux on laptop

I just got an IBM (Lenovo) Z60t donated for use as a thin client, and 
unfortunately it has a fingerprint scanner that appears to be linked to 
the BIOS and won't let me boot from CD ROM w/o fingerprint scan or even 
log on and start the traditional boot process.

Any suggestions as to how I can reset this thing to install a new OS?
