Visit the Sony site and look for their customer service number. Regarding the password, did you try Administrator with no password or maybe Admin with no password?

They’ll probably charge a small fee for shipping and the costs of the disks–but I do not think it will cost much. Call them and find out.

Also, due to the popularity of this topic, I will have to close it and ask that all future questions be asked on our free computer repair forums at http://www.pctechbytes.net/forums/

Dave, I made recovery discs from the wizard on my computer, however 1 of the discs has a scratch in it and I didn’t realize it until I started the restore. So I tried to reboot my system normally and it says “operating system not found.” so unfortunatly I need new discs. If I call that sony number to send me discs does it cost money or is it 100% free?

Hi, i have forgotten my password to log onto my account on my sony vaio so i turned on the guest account to see if it would let me change it but it didnt. it keeps asking for a password reset disk but i didnt make one. I also tryed making a recovery disk but it didnt work. Where do i purchase those Cds from?

It will not make the recovery partition–only restore factory image to the C drive. There should be no difference between one or two disks, as it will span them. But usually one DVD is enough–depending on the fluff they try to install.
