The security on XP was comically bad. When people say “physical access is full access,” they aren’t even considering XP despite it being the textbook definition to the phrase. You were able to access the command line without even logging in.
Yeah, i found an old laptop running xp that had a password i didn’t know, was ridiculously easy to reset it, just reboot to safe mode and change it there

Insert BIOS password. Not foolproof, but helpful for detering people that weren’t going to open the box
I’m talking without the need to reboot or enter BIOS
Oh I know, I’m just saying a BIOS password helped mitigate the safe mode security flaw
