    Hello to everbody!
    I have a problem with my locked BIOS (password) since 2003 because I bought the laptop and I didn't saw in these moment if I could access to the BIOS settings.
    And I looked it just 1 year after I bought the laptop (the warranty expired).

    I try everything to reset the password, to crack the pasword, and nothing happend. And I try to disconnect the battery from the moderboard too, but this is a EEPROM memory so...
    My laptop is and old model (VGN-N11M), but today by today is working just good (Windows 8.1 / Windows 7 Ultimate / Windows XP SP3 / Mac OS X Mountain Lion = I have a multiboot system).


    Can anyone help me?

    Directly contact Sony support and have them assist you through the bios reset procedure.
    I hope you still have your proof of purchase.
