PS/2 passwd bypassed at bootup?
I have my crummy IBM PS/2 passwd protected upon turning it on. I know that removing the battery in a PS/2 deletes the password. But can it be bypassed by an MIS-type if that person has an administration-type of diagnostic/setup/boot-up floppy? Jon C.
Never heard of such a disk. However, I'm not sure it can be disabled as it's in CMOS, and it the PS/2 (Half a personal computer?) I remember with this password crap didn't even do a floppy seek, so if they don't read the A: drive, how can there by a boot admin disk? (I may be wrong, but that's what I remember.) =================================================================93======= + ^ + | Ray Arachelian | Amerika: The land of the Freeh. | \-_ _-/ | \|/ |sunder@escape.com| Where day by day, yet another | \ -- / | <--+-->| | Constitutional right vanishes. |6 _\- -/_ 6| /|\ | Just Say | |----\ /---- | + v + | "No" to the NSA!| Jail the censor, not the author!| \/ | =======/---------------------------------------------------------VI------/ / I watched and weeped as the Exon bill passed, knowing that yet / / another freedom vanished before my eyes.
