It'll be whatever you set it to, you may as well be asking us what the PIN for your credit card is?
Sony should be able to easily bypass it if its forgotten0 -
The PIN for your credit card is 4766. Odds are that has got to be right for someone.A fool may give advice but the one who takes it is the bigger fool.0

it will be what ever you set it to ?0

If you don't know it, you probably haven't got one.!!

With Sony laptops, you can access the Bios through a backdoor password. If you forgot your's, tell Sony to do their thing.0

You can lose the need for password by taking out the cmos battery for a few minutes then replace.0

I had an old Acer pc and tried this trick. Password was still there after a week!!In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move.The late, great, Douglas Adams.0 -
Thanks chap, hopefully it will all be free of charge as sony and NVIDIA admitted fault in these models with the graphic cards. But just think it may have over heated the motherboard due to the fault, which they probably won't take blame. time shall tell . cheers again0
