[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1788915, member: 46727"] I'm not sure what a "Root" password is, but you can read up on what a firmware password does for protection. With a firmware password in place, a thief would not be able to change out or copy your hard drive data. Without a firmware password in place, a thief could remove your hard drive after stealing the machine and replace the drive with one of his own. A firmware password would not allow the new hard drive to function. [/QUOTE]
