| 232827 | 2004-04-29 02:31:00 | My operating system is ME. I have the same problem as Lee Martin (F1 April 2004), I need to keep others off my PC. Resulting from your response to Lee I decided to set a boot password. I appeared to do this successfully, going into Set Up, creating the password, confirming it, and selecting save and exit. Unfortunately when next booting nothing seemed to have changed, no request for a password appeared. ME does not seem to give me the oppurtunity to other method you outlined it invites me to Restart but does not mention MS-DOS. Can you offer more help please? Len Bainbridge |

| 232829 | 2004-04-29 02:46:00 | Have another look at the BIOS. There might be a number of passowrd options. You may have set a "Supervisor" passowrd, which just stops unauthorized changes to the BIOS settings (including passwords). Look for a "User" password, which is more likely to do what you want. | Graham L (2) | ||
