Locking down computer for real this time question

[mjp29]

Actually, I just re-thought everything.

I re-thought everything because of your post.

I actually did change the password in BIOS.

Is my thinking correct when I say below:

That you telling me and I did change BIOS password that not even a person could try to boot with Ubuntu Live cd or Windows boot cd to format my HD?

If so, then I much love that [aweseome!] - AWESOME in my opinion, as that is truly LOCKING the damn box down for F'ing sure!

Please reply

Bios setup happens before you can enter the computer, so yes, it is quite locked down. Nobody can do anything on that computer, be it with Windows, Linux, or BSD. Unless they steal it and run bios hacking tools on it, but the chances are minimal.

You don't necessarily need hacking tools, there are other ways....but yes it would be rather hard for anyone to do anything without a password

Im glad that you got it working.... Also you can't remove the login password, but I think you meant to say "Log in automatically". This can be found under System > Administration. Click on unlock, enter your password and select "Log in as xxxxxxx automatically"
