Re: setting a bootup password?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,
The bios will have a password "setting" where you may either choose 'setup' or 'startup'. Choose startup and type your password.You can bypass this on the mother board itself by connecting 2 jumpers. That's on the older boards. I don't know about the newest.
Cheers
