So in CC I know you can make a password lock program, but is it possible to make a floopy disc that bypasses those passowrd locks, not a lock that opens as soon a as the computer starts, just as the program is run.

Malicious scripts are not helped with nor provided. But it is technically possible, yes.

An empty file in /disk/startup is all you need.
There's nothing malicious with this.

What i'm assuming you're asking is if you can bypass a lock that is currently running, however without restarting. If that is your question then to my knowledge, there is no possible way to do so.

I hope this is only for testing purposes to make your own system more secure.
You can put a floppy disk with a file "startup" and maybe the code

rs.setOutput("left", true)
in a Disk Drive. For that to function you need to restart the computer. or if the computer is not running at the moment, you can simply start it and it will boot from the disk. But that means, that you have to have acess to the computer somehow.
I think theres no other possibilities for that.

Well, if you have sufficient access to connect a disk drive, it goes without saying that you have sufficient access to reboot the target system.
