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:
the power-on password and the hard disk password
*1
.
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 storage device
*2
. 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
built-in storage device is removed from your computer and is installed in another computer.
*1
The hard disk password is not available on models with two built-in flash memory storage devices in RAID configuration.

See the online specifications to find out about your storage device configuration.
