[Marco Gastaut]

Dear Sir or Mandam,

Questions:
1- How can I insert a PC password? I already insert an
administrator and user password but I want to further
protect my PC. So as soon as I switch on my PC I would
like to be able to insert a password.

2- My new Samsung X05 does not have standard LPT or COM
ports. Therefore the PORT&LPT option is not listed in
DEVICE MANAGER. I would like to check if the virtual
PORT4 created for my Nokia 6310i Bluetooth modem
connection is attivated? How can I do it?

Thanks a lot for your reply.
Regards,
Marco.

Hi Marco,

1) If the system BIOS supports it, you can set a BIOS password that will not
allow the system to boot without it. This is accessed at system startup,
look for a message that states to depress <some key> to enter setup.

2) Is the port listed in Device Manager and do the properties show it as
working?
