Customizing Your VAIO Computer >
Setting the Password
✍
If your computer is equipped with a fingerprint sensor and you have set the password in conjunction with the fingerprint authentication function, you
can substitute fingerprint authentication for password entry when turning on your computer. For more information, see
Using Fingerprint
Authentication (page 78) .
Hard disk password Provides additional security for the data stored on your built-in storage device. Even if the password-protected
built-in storage device is removed from your computer and is installed in another computer, other users will
not be able to access the data without knowing the password.
✍
Entry of the hard disk password will be prompted along with the power-on password (if set), after the VAIO logo appears
to start your computer.
!
If you forget the hard disk password or the keyboard fails, which is critical to password entry, no bypass is possible and
the data stored on the built-in storage device will not be accessible. There is NO RESET of this password. You will have to
replace the built-in storage device at your own expense and lose all the data originally stored on the device.
