Why would my parents always enter the BIOS when booting when I was younger (lemmy.ml)

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?

Dude, I just found out BIOS passwords were a thing today. I also learned how to reset the password by pulling a "jumper" off of some pins.
