It's there, sorry about the delay.

No delay, I think I was too quick, we posted at the same minute, sorry ^^

i don't password pretect it. i just cover it in nacho cheese when i'm not using my PC. stops people better than a BIOSes password.

No, I don't.

The bios themselves or the boot up sequence?

On laptops I do a bios password so the system won't boot unless it's entered. Too many stolen or lost laptops get into the hands of evil people.

Yes.

I'm 14, I have a notebook, and 2 brothers.

Bios protected, and and login.

I was wondering is there anyway to bypass one ?
Since without entering the password you can't do crap, not even reformat :/.

Nothing on my HD that would be of any importance to anyone else, just sentimental value really, I used to have a boot option that reinstalled windows (wiping my HD), that showed up on Grub Loader, but I got rid of Grub Loader and it's hidden again, the reinstall option is built into my notebook, didn't want anyone going on that.

I still keep it pass protected, gotten used to it, would feel vulnerable, now that I'm used to it.

Yes, you could remove the HD and put it into another PC, and most BIOS's have back door passwords, Google "BIOS back door passwords *put Hardware manufacture here*".

No, I don't password protect my BIOS. Although, I probably should do...
