Sit and talk with him. Ask him to change it back and then talk with him about responsibility and trust. I am assuming he is a teenager and probably wants to keep things from you or keep them secret. This is a normal stage, remember a few years ago when you were younger? If this does not resolve the issue, lock it up in your room and explain to him when he can act old enough to be responsible, he can have access to the computer. Hope this helps.

This will be a two part answer.
First:
Help with a lost Windows password
A lost password can be one of the most frustrating computer problems. Often, the person who established the password is long gone. So we don't even have someone to bark at!
Windows includes a hidden Administrator account that can be used for problems with other accounts. You can access it by restarting the computer into safe mode.
First, restart the computer. As it starts, repeatedly press the F8 key (some computers instead require the Delete or Esc key). Instead of the familiar Windows screen, you'll see a text-only Advanced Options Menu. Use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode. Then press Enter.
Select the Administrator account. By default on most computers, it requires no password. Once logged in, you can change the password of the account you normally use.
To make the change, click Start>>Run. In the box, type "control userpasswords2" (without the quotes) and click OK. Select your normal account name in the list. Click the Reset Password button. You'll be prompted for a new password. You can restart the computer and use the new password on your normal account.
If you're completely locked out of your computer, you'll need software. Such services include Login Recovery, FastCrack, and NT Password and Registry Editor. Each is free. They make use of boot disks that you can download to a floppy or burn to CD. Of course, you'll have to use some other computer to do the downloading.
Once you've got access to your computer, set a new password through Windows. To do it, click Start>>Control Panel. Double-click User Accounts. Select your account and click "Change my password." You'll be prompted for a new password.
You'll also have the opportunity to enter a password reminder. It should trigger your memory if you ever forget your password. But the reminder should not be descriptive enough to allow others to determine your password.
Second:
Now that you have control of the computer, go into "User Accounts" in the Control Panel and put a password on the Administrator Account that only you know. Now give your son a limited account of his own. In this way you can determine what he can do on the computer. You can even control weather he is allowed on the internet or not. If you allow him on the net, you can limit weather he can download or not.

go to the start menu and up top click on the name of the account you are logged in to. This will bring up a window where you can change general account settings including the password. But if he is doing things that you can't, I don't think you are one that is eligible to call him an idiot.
or you could bypass all of that and make his life hell by taking the mouse. The computer is still totally usefull that way, he just needs to know keyboard shortcuts. It also disables him from playing a large majorety of games.

the make an restricted privileged account withouth a password for him --> he will not be able do install software (virusses and spyware) and lots of other things, basicly he will only be able to surf, write, and chat and listen to music.

Take the monitor wire so that if your son wants to use the computer he has to go to the library.
