Hi,

Not sure where to post this, but when I boot up this computer my nephew forgot the password for, it says to enter a Hard Drive Password. No idea what it is (he forgot). So, if I press F2/F12/Del when booting up, it asks for a BIOS password. Three mistakes later I get the one-time password. I'm hoping you can calculate it for me please? This would be fantastic! Hopefully once I'm into the BIOS I can shut off that hard drive password and he can have his laptop back in working order!

Onetime Password Key: 92TF-9T2V-2R72-9T89

Model: Sony VAIO VGN-BX540B (appears under the LCD screen on the front)
Model as printed on the sticker on the bottom: PGC-9W7L
Model Name as printed on a white sticker on the bottom is VGN-BX540B
Service Tag: R5094277
Product Code: 28398728
Serial No.: 3000202

Thank you SO much for the help! Amazing how hard it is to fix this!
