Customizing Your VAIO Computer
Adding the Windows Password
The Windows password comes in handy when you have to share a single computer with other people. By setting the Windows
password, you can protect your user account from unauthorized access.
Entry of the Windows password will be prompted after you select your user account.

Make sure not to forget the password. Write down your password and keep it safe and private from other people.

If you have set the Windows password in conjunction with the fingerprint authentication functionality, you can substitute fingerprint authentication for
password entry when turning on your computer. For more information, see
