What can I do if I cant remember my start up password on a Sony Vaio?
I Bought my wife a Sony Vaio for christmas, she just returned from the Philippines, and we powered it up, and I cant remember the password I made... Even the hint doesnt ring bells for either of us.
Assuming this is a password for your windows login, the easiest way to attempt removal is to restart in safemode (pressing F8 after the VAIO logo vanishes until safemode appears in a list of options).
Hopefully, once your login screen appears there will be an Administrator account available without a password. (This feature varies from system to system unfortunitly). This Administrator account has FULL access to change anything on your computer including user passwords. Once logged in, go to Start>Control Panel>Users. Here should be a link to change or modify an existing account, select yours and click Change Password. There should be a button allowing you to simply delete the password or change it to something you can remember. Reboot normally and login!
If this feature is not available there are other more advanced ways to remove the password from the regestry... but it can be very tricky and dangerous. Per the prev answer, google search it and see what you can find.
Otherwise, you can certainly bring it to your local Geek Squad and they can remove the password for you. Prices change from store to store, ranging anywhere from on the house to $15-29.99 and usually only takes about 5 minutes.
