Same "back door" as on any standard PC. That's why you should setup
BIOS and GRUB passwords to prevent unauthorised access to the boot
process.

You can set a BIOS password on the 901 so I assume you can on the 701.
I set the grub password by editing the grub config file so I don't
know if there is a Xandros facility to do it, I'm running Ubuntu-EEE
these days in any case.
