If you people actually did
something rather than flood A83 with this absurd thread, then we would all be

Quit acting like children and be

There are no "Lower-level" bios
passwords for IBMs either. I laugh at any
company that says a
home/office computer is secure...
btw, macs have had password
protection on hard drives for ages. And its
better than PCs bios
passwords. When you mount a hard drive, it loads the
driver into
memory, and runs it. You need the password to format, mount,
or do
anyting... Actually, if you have the right tools, and a
screwdriver,
you can reformat...
and the program works on SCSI and
IDE...
