This is all assuming that you have physical access to the system. Without physical access to the system most linux systems are secure. If you have physical access to the system all of these exploits are valid.

to the above file. This caused an outage and also blocked any access to the mode via root or any other user. Your post really helped me to log on and then correct the changes I made, then a reboot fixed everything and I was able to get back on.

Even if the boot order is HDD first and BIOS is locked, I can always unplug the HDD, plug in USB and boot, then plug in the HDD, right? How can one overcome this? I can think of one way.

In BIOS, do not put second boot preference at all…? But it doesn’t seem great. The HDD can be connected to a portal laptop or something like that and the password be removed.

Is it possible to encrypt these files in question? If this is possible, feels like the best way to secure the PC.
