[QUOTE="AndrewDun, post: 1904733, member: 404249"] I agree with your reservations about the effectiveness of passwords if I am right, but I suppose it could be argued that someone bringing in their own Mac to steal data from yours this way might equally come instead with a screwdriver and steal your HD itself. The machine's password only stops them from using your Mac as a Mac, and so to be really safe the data itself needs protecting with a password via the creating programme (app) in case the HD is stolen (or, if I am right, accessed via Target Disc). Anyway, as you say, best to wait for more info from the OP, otherwise we might go off a long way on a tangent. [/QUOTE]
