A BIOS password should be implemented on desktop systems connected to critical networks to prevent unauthorized people from gaining control of the system when it is powered up. This password is set in the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) of the computer and acts as an additional layer of security. It prevents unauthorized access to the system by requiring a password to be entered before the operating system can be loaded. This helps ensure that only authorized individuals can gain control of the system and protect sensitive information and resources.Rate this question:
