Basically around the 2000s we had a WinXP computer and each time I wanted to use it, either my mom or my dad had to turn it on. However they had to strike the key to enter the BIOS. Everytime when booting the PC. Then they would exit the BIOS and so Windows XP would boot normally.

Do you guys know if your parents also did that and why?

    It was possible to set a bios password. They might have done that to prevent you from booting the computer without permission.
