Click "Security" and then "Prevent Unauthorized Users from accessing your
computer." As an alternative, your BIOS may have password protection for
startup.

Can anyone tell me how to set up a password on Windows
98SE so that you have to use a password to access the
computer? I have set up computers with passwords but the
reality is, all you have to do is press escape at the
login screen and you bypass the logon and have full access
to the computer. I want to set it up so you cannot access
the computer at all without a password. This is a
standalone computer, no network.

Thanks,

Greg
