bootup password for w98

Hi,
Try the BIOS password setup. This will stop the computer from even starting.
Enter BIOS then look for something like STARTUP PASSWORD.

Hi

Have you seen this TechRepublic article:

The computer will boot, but a user cannot use the computer without providing a password.

Good luck

Answer 1 would be the best option. Win98 itself is inherently weak in this area. Even if you required logons per answer 2 a user could boot with a dos disk and still have access to the hard drive. To prevent any access to the hard drive (including removing the drive and putting it into a different machine would require encryption. There are many commercial and freeware apps that can perform this function. Just do a search for win98 freeware encryption.

Cheers.
