OSX Password at boot

[disfunktion]

How can I make my macbook ask for a password upon boot?

i.e. like in windows where you have different accounts.

If you go into System Prefs and Accounts, toggle the padlock and select "Login Items" If "automatically log in as" is checked, uncheck it. If you havent done so already you can use the accounts options to set a password too.

If you log out (even if you haven't set a boot password) it will also ask for a password.. this is the Admin password you set up with the Mac

System Preferences > Security > "Disable automatic login"

theres a firm ware password util that I use on my macbook thats very useful, it will ask for a password even before booting to the os. this will stop people booting to your boot camp partition (if you have one), target disk mode and of discs ect....
