can't you put a diskdrive to the east(because that's what minecraft registers first?) and have that startup refer to the computer startup

By attaching a disk drive at the computer and using a floppy disk with any startup (for example a startup showing "CraftOS 1.4" like the vanilla one), you just have to enter any crap into the computer and the computer will automatically reboot cause of the os.reboot-line. Instead I'd use shell.run("startup"), so the computer doesn't restart. Instead the startup will run up again and there will be no boot from any floppies attached. (Just my suggestion)

Edit: Read luanub's post as well, but with restating his arguement I aimed to give a better focus on the actual problem and a possible solution.

Why re-run the program at all? Just use a loop.

Well I hope you enjoy just put in your password where it says "Password", keep the parenthesis though.


while true do
os.pullEvent =os.pullEventRaw
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1, 1)
write("Please Enter Password: ")
input = read("*")
if input == "Password" then
redstone.setOutput("right", true)
sleep(3)
redstone.setOutput("right", false)
sleep(1)
os.reboot()
else
print("Incorrect! Try again later.")
sleep(1)
print("Shutting Down")
sleep(1)
os.reboot()
end
end

That is all />

This infact, is a terrible system. There is no way to eliminate hacking WITHOUT ALTERING THE ROMS.

I think it has something to do with there you place the disk drive. (Eg. It'll boot from the front side if there are disk drives on the front and back.)

*endless facepalm*
See, the problem here is that nothing is unhackable.
Without plugins, you could just destroy the door or place a lever.
With plugins, it might be impossible, but that's not vanilla.
You can place a disk drive and a blank startup. Now, sure, the program might be in a loop that prevents that.
CTRL + S that b***h.
Now do it. Poof. "Hacked".
Pressing CTRL reboots? B***h please, Press CTRL S, open the computer before 1 second goes away. To sleep goes the computer.

See, there is no such things as "unhackable" unless it is prevented with server-side plugins or spawn area protection.
Let's just stop arguing please. It's not worth it.

TheVarmari.. out!
