What should I do if Windows does not start, showing a message,
when I start my computer?
If you enter a wrong power-on password three times consecutively, the Enter Onetime
Password message appears. If you enter a wrong power-on password three times
consecutively again, the System Disabled message appears and Windows will not start.
Press and hold the power button for more than four seconds to check that the power
indicator goes off. Wait for 10 or 15 seconds, then restart your computer and enter the
correct password. When entering the password, check that the Num lock indicator and
Caps lock indicator are off. If any are lit, press the Num Lk key or the Caps Lock key to
turn off the indicator before entering the password.
What should I do if I cannot remember the BIOS password?
If you have forgotten the BIOS password, contact VAIO-Link to reset it. A reset fee will be
charged.
