There's no way to recover a Sony BIOS password (assuming it's set by Sony during manufacturing) without calling Sony. Even their own user manual don't give you the password.

If has used this laptop before, ask him/her if they had fiddled around with the settings and reset it back. Otherwise, you have to call up Sony and ask them to reset for you.
As far as I know, it's not cheap.

Pompay, this happened to me after a windows crash. I got around it by doing a repair from Windows XP CD. Have you tried that?
