I dont want to begin the war and I think you are a bit aggressive !!
I dont need more than 5 second to think that one can enter my
office, open my computer, activate the "clear password" switch,
turn on, turn off, unactivate "clear password" switch, turn on,
boot from A:, and physically read swap partition !
You dont have "clear password switch "? Just put CMOS battery
away, and boot.
