You can set a password (power-on password) for booting up your VAIO computer, using the BIOS function. Entry of the power-on password will be prompted after the VAIO logo appears to start the computer.

You can sign in to Windows using face recognition in place of entering the Windows password if you have already set the Windows password.

Setting a Windows password allows you to protect your VAIO computer from unauthorized access by requiring password entry when the computer is turned on or returns from power saving mode to Normal mode.

If power-on password input for booting up your VAIO computer is no longer necessary, follow these steps to remove the machine password and user password.
