Password

[Sark]

I need a way to set a password to gain access to my computer. Like right after the POST. See attachment for what Im using now:rolleyes: :( :p

Ummm... you know you can set a password in the bios? It'll work. BTW, your autoexec batch file is... interesting... Did loops before, but nothing quite like that.

If you don't want to set a password in your bios, you can check here for a dos program:

The bios password? ya I know you can set that, but it only protects the bios from being entered.

[omega31]

Actually, there should be 2 options in setting a password in the bios. One is system, the other setup. If setup, that will have a password only for bios setup. For system, it will set a password for the system as well as the bios setup.

Also, check my edit above.

I have a supervisor password and a user password in my bios. I tryed setting both of them and it doesnt work.

Clear the autoexec.bat file. You don't need it in Windows and have a monster there. I don't even want to see you config.sys file. Clear it too. Set up a password in bios and get on with life. ;)

P.S. I saved a copy of this autoexec.bat file as the worst example of a crappy .bat that I have ever seen. Did I say thanks? ;)

[Sark]

lol my bios wont let me set a password, so I downloaded one of the programs omega31 suggested (thanks!). My config.sys is empy except for a command line for the password prog i have now. Er, well what the heck was I supposed to use to prevent people toget in? By the way IM not sure if your complimenting me or not... i think not:r

Don't sweat it sark, I was merely commenting on the autoexec.bat file. It is truely an astounding piece of programming. I am curious, did it actually execute? :p

Here it is:

thank you and yes it does work.

[Kurylo]

The password in autoexec don't protect you. Just press ctrl+break and voila !!!

[Sark]

[absalom]

Setting up a bios p/w on a Epox board the other day
& you had to decide on which way you wanted to go
user or admin or similar

so if the user PW is set

Maybe there is another section you have perhaps overlooked
that needs a tweakin :t

[Virjo]

I'm with you on the locking of the power cord, JM!

Whatever happened to your banana guy?

WinGuard Pro 4.0 allows you to password protect Windows startup. Free to try, $20 to buy. I use it and it works great!

You have to change it from BIOS or Setup

to BOOT or System

depending on your BIOS it might have a similar name
:t

[Sark]
