The master password is provided for users with administrative rights on the computer to reset the user password in the BIOS setup screen. The user password is provided to lock your built-in storage device. Once you set the user password, you will have to enter the password along with the power-on password (if set), after the VAIO logo appears. !You cannot start your computer with the master password.
