Require Password at boot
 
I'm just a Linux newbie, but I'd like to put password protection on bionicpup32-8.0-uefi. I've searched the internet, but found nothing that works. I don't need high security - just a way to keep grand kids from destroying my old computer. Thank you in advance.

Maybe try

Code:
sudo passwd <username>

Puppy is not a multi-user system and runs as root. A BIOS password might be the easiest.

My Admin password on my old Dell Vostro 1400 doesn't work on Puppy. I need a password on Puppy.

I found one thread where the OP simply ran the passwd command but I can not confirm if that works so use at your own risk. I assume auto login will work but hopefully running exit will logout.
