Is this program designed to lock a PC using an internal password that is separate from the PC's own password? If so, it has a huge potential for abuse and won't be considered for official release. We've discussed it in conjunction with a similar tool before. Shared PCs in libraries and college computer labs could be locked by random people leaving others and system administrators stuck having to reboot it to get it working again.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Oh...didnt imagined this way of (ab)use...
but yes, it is completely separate from the PC password, it is set in the Program and stored as hash in the registry.
Seems like I overread that thread, could you possibly give me the name of the tool or an link to the thread, I am interested in that discussion.
Sorry for wasting your time.
