After we figured out I can use safe mode to bypass the password, he just started locking the computer desk. Learned to pick the lock within a couple days
It got to the point where he straight up would cut the power cord off things. Took less than an hour to learn to strip the wires and splice in a new end. He gave up after that
In hindsight, there may have been signs I would go into security engineering
my folk put a lock in the computer. if it was locked, it prevented the power button from making a circuit. first we learned to pick locks, then we realized just jamming a paper clip in the lock connected the circuit.

Ah…the things you can accomplish when you are not being stepped on 24/7 by obligations.
It’s almost like life and work used to be one and the same for our ancestors.
…how does that work when you legitimately want or need to use that thing?
Ever wonder if that was the plan all along?
