The Matrix screen saver application (available from a number of sites including www.screentime.com, www.whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com, etc.) may be configured to disallow unauthorized users to access system resources without a password. This is possible using the Password Protected checkbox in the Display Properties of Windows. A flaw exists in the Matrix screen saver. If the Password Protected checkbox has been enabled, it is possible to bypass it by clicking cancel and pressing numerous arbitrary keys. This issue has been confirmed to be vulnerable on Windows 95, 98 and Me.
