why dont you just simply stay with the basics and create a password for the start up?????
isnt that simple?
i usually create a password like a noun any and the the homephone number to make it hard forhim to remember the digits.
eg Acer7216579884- a name then your home phone number
simple no need for a big fuss
even a 13 year old kid like me can do these sorts off things
He did that, you need to read a long computer book. THERE IS A 'back-door', if you don't set it up.
its not a back door its a built in feature of the BIOS. Just reset the jumper and all your power on passwords are belong to us now.
well if the admin account has no password then its not a back door it would be a faulty configuration.
Yes, true, but it is still considered a "back-door" that is left wide open
im sorry but if he set a bios password, and locked up the box so you dont have access to the cmos jumper/internal battery then there is no way you are getting roundsand even physically lock it with a locking mechanism and i will still gain access to your computer.

The bios password is so low level its even before the usb and other drives are initialised, theres no way you could bring something else on board.
of course assuming you not an expert lock picker
dude, bolt cutters, done it before to an older desktop at work that some user put a pad lock on then quit. I used bolt cutters, and unless its a kick ass master lock, most bolt cutters cut through basic pad locks.
Built in case locks can be drilled out, done that too.

ahh, i thought you were implying you could bypass the password, i didnt realise we where talking so invasive methods. given that most chasis are pretty thin aluminium you could get through it with a dremel multi tool and 10 mins....
but is room mate is much less incline to go chopping up bolts or angle grinding a hole in the case....it kinda cross a line between just logging on as guest and breaking and entering
I don't want him to get on because he uses it for surfing for online porn and he prints stuff wasting my ink. So I've been thinking of getting a lock for my room, but I was hoping there was a less expensive way to keep him off.
Edit: Put the shutdown.exe in your startup folder......[/QUOTE said:how do you do that?
