#9196: Screensaver lock - get around password lock
-------------------------------------+---------------------------
Reporter: hey68you | Owner: axeld
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: R1
Component: Preferences/ScreenSaver | Version: R1/alpha4.1
Keywords: security lock | Blocked By:
Blocking: | Has a Patch: 0
Platform: All |
-------------------------------------+---------------------------
1) Setup a password lock for the screen saver
2) When the screen saver starts, move your mouse
3) The password entry with the unlock button appears.
4) Instead of entering the correct password, use the convenience short-cut
method to move the window (the screenblanking window that is just below
the password entry dialog) over to right more than half-way away from the
middle of the screen, and now you see the screen again.
"CTRL ALT + left mouse Click and drag with left mouse button to
move a window"
I guess the patch would be a way to disable the short cut while the screen
blanker window is up.
5) press ctrl+alt+delete to bring up the Team Monitor
6) select the screen blanker processs and kill it!
You have now bypassed Password entry!
