Sony Vaio PCG-GRX580 Power On Password

[atanasiok]

Hi there, could anybody provide me some assistance for resetting a vaio power on password? I have a vaio which was configured to ask for a power on password but the password is unknown/forgotten, result: the notebook doesn't boot.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

For the Sony PCG-GRX580, Sony says "There are no manuals currently available for this model."

That's not very nice!

With that option dead, our next destination is Vaio Link.

After searching the Vaio Link web site, we finally find this page: I have forgotten my Power On Password. What can I do it?

Unfortunately, it only gives us this advice: "Please call VAIO Link for assistance."

But of course, that screen takes us to a menu which requires us to enter our country and Argentina is not on the list.

For Vaio support in Argentina, you have to go to Sony Support for Latin America.

This site tells us that we can either use the contact form or call 011-6770-7669.

This is all fairly shoddy customer care. I do not recommend Sony notebooks.
