- Signing In to Windows Using Face Recognition

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

- Creating/Changing/Removing Your 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.

- Removing the Power-on Password

  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.
