early win98 and i think even into second edition you could just click the close window x button on the login window and it would just dump you onto the desktop. my parents thought adding a password would stop late night gaming… nope worked till i got discovered one fateful nigbt and i was grounded till i revealed how i found out what the password was.
was eye opening for my father who then started just taking the power cords off the monitor and psu.
My parents had the power cord in locked box, so you need a key to turn the computer on, which only they have.
Me and all my siblings learnt to pick lock.
