A86: Re: Secure86
So, you want it so that others cannot remove the batteries in order to exit
the password program? That is possible... However, it would then be
necessary for you to remove ALL FIVE batteries, push ON 5 times, and then
put them back in if you forgot your password. I dunno. Seems kind of bad
to me.
