Exactly.. :)   After  installation, the password was not working.. i thought
of re-install, but this recovery mode worked fine..

In security point of view, i think, even a windows system can be broken if
physical reach is there.

But in some corporate or office setup, we can better secure it, by removing
the CD drive (to prevent live CD option), disabling the recovery mode.  I
think, we can achieve this by tweaking the boot scripts.

Any way, it was a fruitful discussion.
