Abstract
A method for preventing an electronic device from unauthorized switching on by changing power button is disclosed. After a user operates the default power button to switch on the electronic device 1, the user sets the electronic device into a setting mode. The user designates at least one button of the function buttons to be a new power button. The new power button functionally replaces the default power button after the setting mode is finished. Thus the electronic device can be switched on only by the new power button.
