One-Time Power-On Password

摘要

Examples of a one-time power-on password are disclosed, in one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computing device may include a processor and a memory. Additionally, the computing device may include a one-time power-on password module stored in the memory and executing on the processor to store a one-time power-on password for booting-up the computing device; to prompt a user of the computing device to enter the one-time power-on password, and to disable the prompt for subsequent boot-ups when the user enters the one-time power-on password. A boot loader module may also be stored in the memory and executing on the processor to boot-up the computing device in response to the user entering the one-time power-on password.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
securing a computing device with a one-time power-on password for booting-up the computing device by storing the one-time power-on password in a memory of the computing device; and providing the one-time power-on password, wherein the one-time power-on password is usable to boot-up a boot loader of the computing device upon the end user entering the one-time power-on password in response to the computing device prompting the end user to enter the one-time power-on password, wherein prompting the user to enter the one-time power-on password is disabled for subsequent boot-up occurrences.
