THE BLOCK is a simple protection-utility for your MAC. It invites the unwanted visitor to enter a password at startup. The clou is : this is only a fake ! There is no password that will be accepted, and there is no way to change it, because it simply does not exist! The only way to continue the start-up process is to type a secret key-combination and directly after that to click the 'Power Off'-Button in the dialog.

To prevent misunderstandings : In the following I will call the secret key-combination the
'Password-Key'.
The default Password-Key is <command> + <y>
