Basic Input/Output System (BIOS)
In computing, a loaderis the part of an operating systemthat is responsible for loading programs. It is one of the essential stages in the process of starting a program, as it places programs into memory and prepares them for execution. Loading a program involves reading the contents of the executable file containing the program instructions into memory, and then carrying out other required preparatory tasks to prepare the executable for running. Once loading is complete, the operating system starts the program by passing control to the loaded program code.All operating systems that support program loading have loaders, apart from systems where code executes directly from ROM or in the case of highly specialized computer systems that only have a fixed set of specialized programs.

The bootstrap loader
When you boot a computer, you are basically loading the operating system and all of its components. These are necessary for the computer to run and to access your data and software. After the OS has loaded, your startup programs are loaded as well.
A BIOS password prevents a computer from loading the operating system. A login password is prevents the user from accessing the rest of the operating system such as their programs, internet etc.

booting
this can be done by booting into the bios when the device is first loading up (not the operating system loading screen)
The system programs responsible for loading binary code into memory for execution are known as loaders. A loader takes the executable file, allocates memory for it, and prepares the program for execution by resolving addresses and linking necessary libraries. This process typically occurs as part of a larger system called the operating system, which manages resources and facilitates program execution. Once the binary code is loaded, the operating system's scheduler can then initiate its execution.
