backdoor passwords "in case of emergency", and all BIOSes can be easily reset to default passwordless configuration.
Without knowing the password you couldn't put the password back correctly so it would be obvious that the BIOS had been reset. Doesn't fix the problem by any means but does perhaps leave a track. If your server reboots for no reason really you should have already noticed that and wondered what was up. -Steve _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
