Alright, So.

Let's say two decades ago. Win 3.1, Friend put a password on a machine that was before windows started up.

It was basically a black screen like bios and was just waiting for you to type in WIN.

I'd like to know how that was done and if any of you have done this more recently? or any other pre-start up goodies like changing screens and so on..

It's either a bios password or uefi.

uefi wasn't around in 1996.

I had a laptop in 06 I think that i did it with, it was just an option in bios to password protect it and it wouldn't boot if you didn't have the password.

Still have the laptop but it won't start (15+ year old battery's probably corroded something and it won't even power on when plugged in). I should probably pull the HDD and see if i could get it to boot on a VM. It was on win 95 i think.

I just woke up but do you mean typing "win" in DOS?
>>
>>56123174
Yes, but no.

It was before the start up screen but this computer was old it was like a model m? or the keyboard was.
>>
Pull the drive, very good chance it'll boot in a VM.
>>
>>56123331
Well, I don't have that computer anymore.

It was early 90's when this happen.
>>
It's a bios that requires a supervisor password before the computer can do anything.

source: it's a feature on a cheapo board i just put in an office computer
