    Will the mods allow an answer to this seeing as it relates to a main machine password? I seem to remember a couple of bannings for answers relating to this type of topic.

    moving to laptops - someone may have a contact procedure for sony.


    windows admin passwords resetting is not that big a deal since there is no real security in unencrypted NTFS if you have access to the local machine.

    if it was a Dell in the past you'd have to fax in the original receipt before they would consider releasing the bios pw but sony use a million reseller so no idea and TPM is just one more reason why I don't like SONY

    The notebooks also include the Trustedâ„¢ Platform Module (TPM) hardware and fingerprint recognition to further protect the user data and enhance the overall security. The TPM checks for unauthorized changes to both hardware and software, acts like a built-in smart card, provides an exclusive ID and the TPM chip itself stores vital data like passwords and encryption keys.
