ABSTRACT:
A method and medialess personal computer system workstation (or LAN station as herein defined) adaptable for securing the system against attack on a secured network with which the LAN station is associated. A flag bit is set in system memory during a power on self test to indicate whether access may be had to certain security features of the system, and a procedure is described by which access to a network stored configuration setting program may be gained in order to install, change or remove a password used for securing the LAN station while avoiding passing the critical password data through the network.
