Windows user admin password is very easy to crack. U can use softwares like OPH-CRACK to do this. To secure your computer, i suggest u set a SYSTEM ADMIN password. You can do this by pressing F2 when your system reboots. This will take you to SYSTEM SETTINGS where you can set a password. Windows cannot be acessed without this password...not even the guest account.

Passing through a user's password is easy to do with safe mode, but not secretive (the password must be removed).
To be sure he doesn't use it, try taking the power cable or the keyboard/mouse, or even turning off that section of your house from your fuse box.

Among the choices
He guessed your password because you use just a few that he already knows.
Before you put it into effect he created a hidden user (don't ask me how) that lets him sign on with admin priviledges.
He installed a program that lets him bypass sign in, etc. (more likely)
How about a lock on the door and a lock on the power cord?

Based on what you are saying. It's difficult to determine what the hassle is. You didn't say whether or not you're making use of High pace or dial or wi-fi. If you're making use of a wi-fi web, it might be sign barrier hassle. If you're making use of High pace, it might be spyware and adware hassle, if dial up, might be bandwidth hassle. If you had been making use of you pc adequate earlier than. I do not believe it is pc hassle. Modem vigor surge hassle could also be viable.

Set a system password in the bios, that will fix him.

If it's a desktop remove the keyboard or power cord or both, with the mach powered down.
If its a laptop simply lock it up

I guess he finally managed to crack your password?
Btw, which version of windows are you using?
