[QUOTE="Burrito, post: 834873, member: 72439"] Good question. I don't see why. With the laptop I use that employs Bitlocker, one has to enter the Bitlocker password initially and then.... the Windows system password. Unless one is concerned that Bitlocker will be bypassed in one way or another which is unlikely in the current version of Bitlocker, the 2nd password becomes redundant. And if somebody had the skill to get through Bitlocker somehow, the bypass for the Windows password is relatively easy. [/QUOTE]
