Trying to deviate his attention to other thing that PC games I put a
password in my MS 6368TL mobo BIOS so that my boy could only enter if I were
there.
At night I came back just to see how he was finishing a school work.. He
confessed he found a universal password for that BIOS and that it seems
there was nothing to do about it.
I dont know that universal password. He surely did not open the case.
Me myself had one password for chipset intel TX mobos.
Any hardware way to avoid this violation other than blocking cmos writing?
Roberto
