Got into an arguement with someone at work

[gamepad]

He said you can disable the windows login password from the BIOS. I snooped around on my BIOS and didn't see any option like that.

Is he completely wrong, or can this be done on some computers?

 

[mpitts]

He's completely wrong.

 

[montypythizzle]

Wrong. BIOS doesn't mess with Windows passwords in anyway that I am aware of.

 

[Rubycon]

BIOS password is to allow user access to system boot up or BIOS access.

Windows logons are controlled by the security account manager. Two entirely different things.

 

[pstylesss]

If he is going to argue it, then have him show you.

You can set a BIOS password. AFAIK you can't disable windows login through BIOS... since the two aren't mixed, I don't even know why he would think that. i don't believe it's possible, but i've never tried nor cared to.

edit: apparently im right.

You didn't enter the secret sequence first.

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Select


That enables the movie-style hacking options.
