this is a program I made so I can leave my computer running programs overnight or at school or wherever without anyone being able to go onto my computer.

installation instructions:

download lock.exe from releases, or download it from main (this has a chance to include a bug, but is more up to date) to download from command line use the url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/reedthorngag/device-lock/main/lock.exe or https://github.com/reedthorngag/device-lock/releases/download/v1.0/lock.exe to get the release. then run lock.exe from the dstination folder, and it will automatically download dependencies into a bin folder inside the folder you ran lock.exe in. it will also ask you for a password to use, which it will enter as plain text into a file called password.txt in bin, you can change the password by changing the value in this file.

note: this program requires administrator permissions to run!

run hard-reset.bat if something doesnt go back to normal or whatever, I think thats what I made it for, I cant remember though, it may just be for when I'm developing this and I break it, it does the same thing as the program does itself when it exits.

disclaimer:

I do not garrentee that this will prevent people from getting onto your computer, there are always ways around, especially for something like this. (see #1 )
