That is not what causes most problems. At work there is a guard downstairs and I lock my doors at home. If I have access to your computer I can slip a keystoke logger in where your keyboard plugs into your system box and have the password to your full disk encryption (unless you use your mouse and the on screen keyboard to enter the password). Security always has to be a response to an idea of what threat may be attacking you. At some point the increase in security will cost more than the value of what you have to lose.

Yep, I’ve known this for a few years. I have also tested the software you hinted at, as well as another one similar. One bypasses the password, and the other one lets you change it.

I also know a easy 4 min method for changing the password on a mac with OSX. no external software required.

I suggest for any OS that you use FULL DISK ENCYPTION. If you use a windows OS I reccomend the Open Source software known as trucrypt.
