My 16 year old has found a way to make himself an administrator and he also has no problems cracking my user/administrator passwords. I believe he achieves this by entering Safe Mode at start up and I would like to keep him out of safe mode to see if this cures the issue. I just installed Window Vista and purchased a new gateway desk top.

Take his front door key off him, and shut the door behind him on his way out. :nod:

Chop all his fingers off. :nod:

Tie some string round his nuts, and keep it short. :thumb:

or

Hire him out to Microsoft, they is in short supply of new id10t errors.

I have since learned that it is an easy process to use a thumb drive to override User Login and this is probably how my son makes himself an administrater. Any other solutions for blocking this process outside of shuting down the USB ports?
