I highly recommend not doing it. This effectively locks your whole computer. If you forget it then theres no hope. If you want to lock your computer effectively, set up user accounts on your Operating System, that way if you forget your password you can adleast re-install Windows XP.

Most secure company and school networks have this option blocked as well. Only really old computers have it.

There is a way to dislock by opening the cpu case

inside there is a little button, there is no other, which by touching that you cut the buckup energy to the mother, its not dangerous you only will lose the clock time and the bios password
