Hi,
This is very frustrating time when you are a PC geek from few decades, and your son who couldn't even learn any programming language
and has got 1) BIOS user password and 2) Windows password preventing from uncontrolled PC launch starts using this PC with no hassle. Yes, teenager wins somehow and I don't know how. All my experience can evaporate now.
This is not about outdated PC build, as it started with previous PC (non UEFI-compliant) and I've thought for a second maybe he discovered some mainboard quirk, so upgraded it to B550... the same. User password is present, so every reset/turning on there's a screen with password prompt. I don't suspect him for knowledge what a backdoor master password is (and frankly, never checked it if that works in any PC in my house), but even so... it's next paragraph.
Next paragraph is stage 2 - Windows password. I can obey this password, but this is a method for adding new user and with installation pendrive (he doesn't have it), so I doubt he knows this method.
Most interesting thing is when I boot up PC alone, all my passwords work - so they are not changed, reseted etc. Son doesn't know both of them (passwords were different now and with previous build anyways).
The simplest method - asking him how he makes it working - doesn't work. "I've switched PC on and there was no passwords at all" - you can hear, observing his 165 Hz moving pointer at screen.
Looks like workstation rebellion against server and the only question I've got is: HOW IS HE DOING THIS ?
What am I missing ?
