Password on bootup

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I think an option in the vsh menu to set a password on start up would be 
beneficial for both the perm patch and the temp pro versions. The reason I 
think this would be a good idea is because I would hate to, say, leave my psp 
at home and someone picks it up and bricks my psp by accident with Filler or 
something. Because Pro gives us complete kernel mode access it would be a good 
idea to lock it down from people who don't need to be messing with it. Maybe we 
could set a 4 digit password and it would ask for it before pro loads the XMB 
three times (if you didn't get it right) and if you got it wrong the third time 
it would just power down. I hope this isn't a stupid or imposable request. 
Thank you for your time and for the awesome CFW.

+1 this is a good idea (but when asking a password, it should be like you're 
putting password when in XMB Menu)

You have plugins that allow you to do this.
Not all the people are willing to slow their boot with a password.

neur0ner just released a password locker for 6.39! That's exactly what I'm 
looking for, asking password when start up and in xmb!It would be a great 
addition if this feature is added to 6.20 and 6.35 PRO CFW.

I like the idea of putting in the password from the XMB and I know that not 
everyone would want the password that's why I was thinking it would be an 
option in the menu just like CPU speed or which ISO driver you were using. 
Maybe put it in the recovery menu under advanced options or something like that 
to further bury it from unknowing people who don't need to be messing with your 
psp or maybe name it something other then "Enable Password" or the like, make 
it sound technical... something like "Log Background Processes" (of course you 
would explain that it is the password option in the readme). It wouldn't be 
forced, but it would be a nice option for those who want it.

Or what ya could do is integrate the XMB Control (FreeCore) v1.5.5 and fix the 
Password Lock for only start-up not every time you enter xmb Like Total Noob 
did in 6.20 Tn-D or Tn-E That was the best in his CFW. This should be the first 
thing in the list to do many people would love this.
