I had my new laptop at work with me today (College library setting). I was thinking how easy it would be for someone to walk away with it (I do have a cable lock, but am usually too lazy to hook it up). I would be very unhappy about losing my laptop and even more so about someone getting their hands on my personal information that is on it's hard drive!
Therefore I decided to set passwords in the bios setup preboot program. I had three options to set passwords: One to get into the bios setup program. One to be entered before a boot. One to allow access to the hard drive. I put in passwords for all three, but was thinking it might be a pain to have to enter two and three every time I turned the computer on. Then I realized that the hard drive password probably protects me from having someone remove the hard drive and reading the information from another computer. Is this the purpose of the third password?? ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
