| 265382 | 2004-08-26 02:56:00 | How can I make it so the user has to enter a password as soon as my computer boots up? | Scattershot06 (4844) | ||
| 265383 | 2004-08-26 03:03:00 | That would depend on what OS you are running i suppose? If your running Win XP goto==== Start - Settings - Control Panel - Select User Accounts - [I take it there will only be 1 account displayed, as if there was 2 you would have to choose at startup] Select "Create a Password" and fol the rest of the Instructions! Hope that helps?? |

| 265384 | 2004-08-26 03:06:00 | I mean as soon as I turn the computer on, it requires a password. Do I have to go into the BIOS for that? Somebody once set that up for me, but my comp has had a complete make-over since, so I'm wondering how to do that password thing now. |

| 265385 | 2004-08-26 03:11:00 | yes,its done in the bios. | metla (154) | ||
| 265386 | 2004-08-26 03:12:00 | And where in the BIOS do I go exactly? | Scattershot06 (4844) | ||
| 265387 | 2004-08-26 03:14:00 | Yes, It sounds like a BIOS password..... Why would you want to use a BIOS password anyway? Remembering that people can generally bi-pass / re-set the BIOS password by removing the CMOS battery for a period of time [few hrs] anyway?? Although i spose you could have the case locked! Cheers... |
