Customizing Your VAIO Computer
Setting the Password
In addition to the Windows password, you can use BIOS functions to set two types of passwords to protect your computer:
power-on password and hard disk password.
Once you have set the power-on password, you will be prompted to enter the password after the VAIO logo appears to start
your computer. The power-on password allows you to protect your computer from unauthorized access.
The hard disk password provides additional security for the data stored on your built-in flash memory storage or hard disk
drive
*
. 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 flash memory storage or hard disk drive is removed from your computer and is installed in another
computer.
* Your computer is equipped with a built-in flash memory storage and/or a hard disk drive, depending on the model you purchased. See the online specifications to find out
about your storage device configuration.
