I'm looking for a program that asks for a password before allowing you
to boot from a hard disk.  I have one PD program but, this program allows
the type to be seen when you type in the password.  This can be awkward
when someone is watching over your shoulder.  Anyway, I'm looking for
a version or another program that masks the typed in letters.  Any ideas?
Thanks,
[I realize that someone could easily gain access by booting from a floppy
but this is not the type of person I am worried about.]
