Vista pre-boot authentication

Used to use Compusec as a pre-windows password measure

Doesnt work with Vista which is a bit if a bummer.

Realise Vista has its own password access but this is within Windows and I liked the extra security of a pre boot check

Anyone know of vista compatible software?

(Note I dont want to encrypt anything - just password access)

Thanks

Dom

Was after something secure - bios can be cleared at the touch of a button

If your BIOS supports hard drive passwords, then these cannot be cleared.
