How do I keep my brother and others from sneaking onto my laptop and enabling the guest account.?

Question

Evertime I delete his account or guest account, he create it again. He cant get into mine because its password protected. Its really irritating. I have an Acer laptop.

Answer 1

Tampon + ketchup.
(works great for other things too.)

Answer 2

Here is a simple solution.

1.
You should print these instructions before continuing. They will not be available after you shut your computer down in step 2.

2.
Click Start and then click Shut Down.

3.
In the drop-down list of the Shut Down Windows dialog box, click Restart, and then click OK.

4.
As your computer restarts but before Windows launches, press F8.
On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple operating systems, you can press F8 when the boot menu appears.

5.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate safe mode option, and then press ENTER.

6.
If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, choose the installation that you need to access using the arrow keys, and then press ENTER.

After this is done select administrator and log in. Then create a password for it. Select your brothers account and make him a limited user and not an admin. After this is done he should not mess up again. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Go into the system bios, eg; press del at bootup.
Then enable a bios password.
That way nobody can use the computer without your password.

Answer 4

Change your password and all other passwords on the comp and then delete the guest account, the chances are that they know your password to your comp and you dont know that they know.
