Sony VAIOŽ S150

The laptop boots up past the "VAIO" screen but requires a password in a DOS bios screen that I do not have to proceed further.

how can i reset this?

Welcome to the forums

Why dont you have the password? Isnt this your laptop?

If you have recently purchased it, take it back to the shop and tell them, or contact Sony.

Has it occurred to you that perhaps there's a reason its cheap? You need Sony or an authorized tech to reset. If you cant prove ownership, they wont.

try the master passwords if the system is Pheonix BIOS.
try all of these one at a time.

phoenix, PHOENIX, CMOS, BIOS
