A user is concerned with the security of his laptop’s BIOS. The user would not like anyone to be able to access control functions except themselves. Which of the following could make the BIOS more secure?
  1. Password
  2. Flash the BIOS
  3. Encrypt the hard drive
  4. Create an ACL
Explanation
Answer - A - Setting a BIOS password will nullify the chances of any unauthorized individual changing the BIOS settings. To set the password, enter the CMOS setup during boot up.

Key Takeaway: The BIOS password restricts access to the BIOS setup. However, make a note of this password since losing this password would require you to make changes to the computer hardware.
