VictorHG Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hi, I inherited a Sony Vaio FX677 with all its manuals and other documents, but without its password (not Windows password, but the system's). Is there any chance of recovering it? Much appreciated in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sfbp Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 if the entire hd got encrypted by that password, this is by design, so that new owner doesn't get private stuff from old owner if you inherited it from someone you know, ask them you can try taking out the CMOS (usually CR2032) battery and removing all mains and battery power from the machine overnight this is emphatically NOT a Vaio service forum. you need to ask this question of a trained Sony employee, sorry.
