[QUOTE="klmno, post: 323682, member: 3699"] Not the way my son set ours up- that was the problem. The computer came up in DOS and if you didn't have that password, you couldn't get it to go to Windows at all. The only way to over-ride that is to change something on the mother board. Anyway, you can call your manufacturer and ask how to do that- it has something to do with hitting an F button while the computer is starting up, which takes you to DOS, then somehow in DOS putting a password requirement on. This can be done even without having the password for windows access- which is why my son did it. And, he learned it from another kid at school so you might want to consider it before your son finds out how to do it and does it to you. But really, once it got to that point I realized that the battle of wills could go on forever and there was no point in me trying to solve the problem by out-smarting him. My son was explosive and it could have just kept going until he bashed the entire computer. As far as hiding the mouse- you are aware that a whole lot can be done with only the keyboard, right?
