If you set the hard disk password, other users will not be able to access the data without knowing the password, even if the password-protected built-in storage device is removed from your computer and is installed in another computer. Customizing Your VAIO Computer > Setting the Password n 120 N Adding the Power-on Password The power-on password is provided to protect your computer from unauthorized access. There are two types of the power-on passwords: the machine password and the user password. The machine password is provided for users with administrative rights on the computer to change all the setup options in the BIOS setup screen, as well as to start the computer. The user password is provided for the standard users to allow for changing some of the BIOS setup options, as well as starting the computer. Once you have set the power-on password, you cannot start your computer without entering the password. Write down your password and keep it safe and private from other people. If you forget the power-on password and need assistance to reset it, a password reset fee will be charged, and your computer may need to be sent in for service to reset the password. If your computer is equipped with a fingerprint sensor and you have set the power-on password in conjunction with the fingerprint authentication function, you can substitute fingerprint authentication for password entry when turning on your computer.
