How to use debug to setup a dos login password?
I am using windows Millennium. I am looking for boot up password protection. I know that I found it one time on the internet. It showed how to use debug to create a password and when you boot the computer would stop in dos and ask for the password. Without the password you can not get pass dos.

I've never seen a DOS level password.

You can set a system password in BIOS setup.
Just change security to BIOS.

There is no DOS level password.
There is as mentioned a BIOS level password.
Get into the bios either by pushing delete button rights after the memory is counted. HP machines the button is F11, on Dell it is F1 or F2.
Look for something labeled like User Password (not admin or sys password) Enter a password use F10 to save changes then reboot and use your new password.
