Without harddrive encryption such a program is not of much use. It only defeats dumb users.
Surely, with Kick 1.3 and bootpri=127 it is rather difficult to access the drive's data but with physical access to the machine and the right skills it can be done quickly.
Either
- connect the harddrive to a Linux machine and use a hex editor to change bootpri or
- connect the harddrive to a Kick 2.0 machine and use the early startup menu to boot from another disk or
- connect a second harddrive to the controller which also has a partition with bootpri=127 but no protection or
- disable the hdd controller and manually mount the partitions loading the driver from floppy disk (especially in the Kick 1.3 era many hdd controllers offered this option for compatibility with kick 1.2).
