Hello everybody !
Has anybody an idea, how to protect a Boot CD with Password ?
Example: While Booting it should request for password.
If Password is wrong, System should reboot!

Start EasyBoot, click 'Help' button and choose 'Contents', then find 'Set Password to Your Bootable CD/DVD and Menu Items' topic in 'User's Guide' section.

Hello Xoben,
i had read and tried this before I post; i had set password to force a password request before booting the main menu of my CD;
but there was bo password request while CD is booting;
seems to be a bug!
A password is only requested, if i set it to the single applications in my boot menu!
To fix that, i create a new main menu with "disclaimer" and a "I agree Button"; then i set password to "agree Button" and
my problem was fixed.

thanks for your answer !

Regards Fluffy

Hello Fluffy, please do not modify or save the .ezb file when password is setted.

You can test it this way, step by step:
1) Open a menu file (.ezb)
2) Set password
3) Save it
4) Make an ISO image
5) Test the ISO by VMWare, or burn it to CD-RW for testing
