Just put a floppy with a blank file named startup into a disk drive next to the computer, then reboot the computer.

That works well enough. Just have the drive on a side that people can't access unless they've entered the system.

is there a way to set up a admin account tho cause it would look cool to show my friends /> ?

Sure, if you use a table of passwords keyed by user, just make the user a key to a subtable instead of a simple value, and it can contain a "user_level" value, like so:

t_users = {
geraldine = {password = "something",user_level = 3,},fallion = {password = "evil",user_level = 1,},
angelus = {password = "divine",user_level = 5,},almighty = {password = "godly",user_level = 10,},
}

Then give the higher level functions an if t_users[current_user].user_level > 4 then ...(body of function)...end structure. Now the function only does anything for users with a user_level higher than 4 (so angelus and almighty). You can create any number of user_levels, as many as you need, but probably two is enough, so you can just have a boolean value and just do "t_users[current_user].user_level then" stuff.

Do you have 2 separate files for users and passwords or are you using one file to save them?
