password to any accounts that have administrator privileges. Disable
booting from anything other than the hard drive and password protect the
BIOS.

You are right. With physical access a determined person can get access. In
this case we are talking about a family situation. If the precautions I
indicated aren't enough to keep the kids from hacking into the computer the
family has far deeper problems than securing computer access.

past any parental control in oh, about five minutes tops. Usually way
less. If he/she can't, he for sure has a buddy that can.
Of course you can't stop them with technology. That's not the point. The
point is you set some rules that have consequences.
If the rules are broken
you remove physical access or use some other method of enforcing the rules.
The only reason for setting passwords and possibly disabling booting from
removable drives is so the kids understand that you don't want them to do
this. It isn't to actually stop them.
