If you prevent access to your computer with just a password, you are missing out on an alternate and more secure way to lock down your computer.
Steps To Lock And Unlock Computer With Pendrive
STEP 1
Insert your Pendrive into your system and wait for it to be recognized.
STEP 2
Go to Start >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Computer Management >> Disk Management Or directly type diskmgmt.msc in Run.
STEP 3
Then Right-click the partition whose name you want to change (click in the white area just below the word “Volumeâ€) and Select “Change Drive Letter and Paths…â€
From here you can re-assign the drive letter it was given to “A†(Drive letter of Pendrive must be “Aâ€).

Syskey launched: Click “Updateâ€
Choose “Store Startup Key on Floppy Disk†and Click“OKâ€
You’ll be prompted to enter your diskette. Make sure your Pendrive is inserted and writable. Restart and have fun. Don’t lose yours Pendrive. And, to revert this, you can run syskey again and choose to store it locally instead of “On a floppy diskâ€.
