I´m locking for a way to lock the computer from
approxomatly 00:00 to 06:00 as a way of limiting the use
of the computer for our kids. The best wourld be if there
where some way to activate a password function that was
controlled by the clock.

I don't know of any ways built-in standard to XP that would do this for
you. You'll need additional software or access to more sophisticated
control systems (domain login, proxy web servers, routers with
management software for internet access control, etc.).

I understand the parental concerns and desire for control of this issue.
Technology won't be the entire answer here, if at all if you can't
pursue the more advanced options.

Put it in a closet. at minimum, remove the power cable.
 
The power cable can easily be replaced as it is a standard cable (kettle,
toaster etc.).
Try taking the monitor cable with you on holidays - game play is pretty
boring boring without graphics.....

Open the case and disconnect the power cables to the m'board.

Threaten them with death/dismemberment if they play with the machine.

At best, take the machine with you or have it stored at a friend's location.

Physical removal of ability to access the machine is the only certain method.
