n 99 N 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. 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 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 hard disk drive is removed from your computer and is installed in another computer.

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.

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 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 hard

disk drive is removed from your computer and is installed in another computer.
