I need to secure my computer from my cousin, because he’s not allowed to use computers so much. I tried putting password in the windows user administrator and i dont have any user aside from that but he can pass through it. how did he do that?
so because of that i need to do something. how can i restrict him from using my comp? please help, its really dangerous for him to play so much in the computer, due to his health problem.

Passing through a user’s password is easy to do with safe mode, but not secretive (the password must be removed).
To be sure he doesn’t use it, try taking the power cable or the keyboard/mouse, or even turning off that section of your house from your fuse box.
I guess he finally managed to crack your password?
Btw, which version of windows are you using?
Among the choices
He guessed your password because you use just a few that he already knows.
Before you put it into effect he created a hidden user (don’t ask me how) that lets him sign on with admin priviledges.
He installed a program that lets him bypass sign in, etc. (more likely)
How about a lock on the door and a lock on the power cord?
If it’s a desktop remove the keyboard or power cord or both, with the mach powered down.
If its a laptop simply lock it up
Set a system password in the bios, that will fix him.
Windows user admin password is very easy to crack. U can use softwares like OPH-CRACK to do this. To secure your computer, i suggest u set a SYSTEM ADMIN password. You can do this by pressing F2 when your system reboots. This will take you to SYSTEM SETTINGS where you can set a password. Windows cannot be acessed without this password…not even the guest account.
