bypassing User Password

Peace to your home, /_All!/_ I heard that you can boot a computer on which User is installed and the supervisor does not pass knowing them. Like inserting a floppy disk. And the computer boots from it. Is this possible? We'll write again /_All!/_!

Another thing is that you can either short-circuit the battery (the passwords will be reset), or find a universal password... -------------------------------------------------------------┐ │ Universal

Hello, Alexander! 27 May 04 22:18, Aleksander Kudelya -> Kirill Frolov: KF>> No. The floppy disk is polled after, and it can be trivial KF>> is disabled. Another thing is that you can either short-circuit the battery (passwords KF>> will be reset), AK> No, without opening the case. But it must be included somehow AK> seek in the setup. And the floppy disk is supposed to be some kind of magic. In general AK> be like that? Has anyone met? The nonsense of some kind of lame. Seek is a drive diagnostic and nothing more. Specifically - as in TRDOS, positioning to ~50 track and back. The floppy disk is not readable at all. And for modern flops this can be safely set to disable - default BIOS installs them as needed.
