Thread: How To Prevent My Password

I have a computer at home and it has Windows XP on it. My brother is a very inquisitive person and always keeps cracking my passwords and uses my computer. How can I prevent him from doing so? Please guide me with some tricks.

As there are a lot of utilities available to crack the Windows password in the pirated zone on the internet, I would advise you to install a password in the BIOS itself. If you install a password in your motherboards BIOS, he would not be " able to crack the password with ease unless he opens the computer cabinet and removes the battery or resets the password by clearing the CMOS using the jumper. For this, you would need to physically lock the computer. Newer cabinets have the feature where you can lock the computer cabinet to prevent such cases and even thefts.
