    I enabled it to test it out but now it is kind of annoying to startup with a password since i am not traveling with it anymore. How do i disable it? every time i select it it asks for the current password and to set a new password. Where is the disable option?

    If you do not enter a new password it treats that as a disable.

    what do you mean exactly? when i click on the [enable] hoping to have a disable option, a pop-up appears and it asks for Enter Current Password, Enter New Password, Confirm New Password. If i do not enter anything it shows "invalid password."

    Well, it should have... :(

    In all the computers that I have had, if you don't enter a new password it turns that protection off. Foo.
