how to lock PC?
-
can anybody plz help me with locking the PC ...thru Bios or any other way so that nobody can access it...It should not detect any Hard Disk. (dont tell me bios password since it can be cracked with jumper settings). I need to lock a PC anyhow bcoz when i go away to home from my PC somebody else come and start working on that. If I change Windows 2000 password then they will format the Hard Disk and start working again. IF I keep a BIOS password then they can crack it by changing jumper settings. what i need that computer should be hanged and nobody can easily guess that what might have happened to the computer...why it was not working?

Sounds fishy.... How exactly would you restore the computer so that 'you could start working again'?:~

there is NO solution if someone can open your PC case. The best solution is bios password and padlock on the case.

Our Dell laptops (I have an Inspiron 8100) have hard-disk-based passwords. If you don't know the password, the harddisk won't start to spin. This is not resettable by jumpers. Of course they can always replace the hard disk. Enjoy life, this is not a rehearsal !!!
