A password for the BIOS is NOT safe-proof. Too many people know how to bypass it. BIOS manufacturers provide on their site generic passwords that can unlock the BIOS. Some softwares, available for free, will do the trick. You can also open the machine and clear the CMOS by removing the battery for at least 10 minutes, and then the BIOS will be reset to its defaults values. One can simply change the position of the CMOS jumper or dipswitch once located, and you're done. :P

It's amazing how many wireless networks you can connect to that don't have a password, then type 192.168.1.1 and guess the name and password to get into someones router. You can even brick their router by doing a faulty firmware upgrade.
