Kind of a folder / drive lock eh .. !!! i've been trying the samething .. For example ... *Login Password : abhishek * The drive password should be something different right like ... *Authentication : AbhiSheK*
guys this is something important coz we can give access to our root ( file system ) by telling the root password but with that he will be able to access the whole system including the partitioned drives .. so to change this any ideas ... Many thanks for the elaboration Vyshakh ..
