I'm trying to make a password program that can be stored on a floppy disk copped onto the computer and the password can only be edited on the floppy disk. I know how make put it on a floppy disk and I know how to copy it onto the computer and i know i can edit the password when in the program code, but what i don't know is there a way to edit a programs code when in another program. What I really want to do is make it so I can't change the computers password unless I run a program on the floppy disk.

paragraphs.

You are missing paragraphs.

And also due to the way someone coded the bios you can not stop hack attempts.

Someone can easily just restart your computer and place a disk drive next to your computer to bypass any security you have and do what they please to your files.

Other then that, You could try a io.open() and close it when it detects it.
io.open would prevent editing of the file.
But still. As I said. Its easy to hack. Easier then rl infact.

Because Windows doesnt code in a backdoor for every wannabe hacker.
