In my case I don't worry about "kids", and if I power up my system and it does NOT need a password, then I KNOW I have been hacked, cracked and compromised, I can then take steps to minimize the damage, ie, passwords, accounts, etc.WindUpToy wrote:kiddies know that if you remove+replace the CMOS battery, when you boot up there is no password required and the CMOS sets the BIOS up automatically on modern computers, with CD-boot as the first option.
Without that boot protection, I may not know that my data has been compromised.
