Before enabling the TPM, be sure to set the power-on password to protect against unauthorized modification of the TPM configuration.
If the TPM is enabled, it will take longer before the VAIO logo appears due to security checks at computer startup.
You will not be able to access any TPM-protected data if you clear the TPM ownership. Before clearing the TPM configuration, be sure to make backup
copies of the TPM-protected data.
