Pass Word Protect Win 98

I use my personal computer w/98 at my office. I do not want anyone else to have access to my computer. How can I password protect from anyone attempting to boot up my computer?

 

You can enable "Password on Boot" option in your BIOS so when you turn on your PC it will ask you for a password. If you don't know the password or enter it wrong it won't continue booting. Works great...we use it here at work. Note...You will also have to password protect the BIOS so "Users" cannot access the BIOS to disable the "Password on Boot" option.

Check your Motherboard manual on how to get into your BIOS and how to enable the password protect.

 

Carefull!

Check with your companies IT dept and be sure they allow that - they will also likely require the pass on a 3x5 card to be onfile in the IT dept.

People are often fired for less.

 

You should definitely heed what Profgab101 stated as each Companies "Policy" is different. Make sure you get the IT Dept to do the work for you.

What we (IT) do at my work is password protect the BIOS with a Supervisory password (each PC has its own unique password that is kept on record) then if the user requires "Password on boot" enabled we enable it and enter a user password that the user gives us.

The nice thing is we don't have to know what the user password is as our supervisory password overrides the user password.
