Resetting the TPM settings in the BIOS setup screen makes your TPM-encrypted data inaccessible. If you have the TPM-encrypted data, make a backup copy before resetting the settings, if needed.

Before enabling the TPM in the BIOS setup screen, set the BIOS password to prevent unauthorized users from changing the TPM settings. See Setting/Changing the Power-on Password for more information.

The TPM security feature on your VAIO computer does not ensure complete security of your data and hardware.

Sony assumes no liability for any problems and damage arising out of your use of or inability to use the TPM.

Back up your data on the TPM or the built-in storage device before sending your VAIO computer for repair, and keep your backup data private from other users.

Sony assumes no liability for any data loss arising out of repairs.

The TPM will also be replaced if your computer motherboard needs replacement during the course of repair.

Perform the operation and maintenance of the TPM-related data at your own risk. Sony assumes no liability for any problems arising out of your operation and maintenance.
