Customizing Your VAIO Computer
On models with the fingerprint sensor, there are two types of the power-on password: machine password and user password.
The machine password is provided for users with administrator rights on the computer to change all the setup options on the
BIOS setup screen, as well as to start the computer. The user password is provided for other standard users to allow for
changing some of the BIOS setup options, as well as starting the computer. To set the user password, you must first set the
machine password.

Once you have set the power-on password, you cannot start your computer without entering the password. Make sure not to forget 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 depot service for password reset.
