I have someone I know who keeps hacking into my damn computer. There's just 2 active accounts both of which are password protected. I can't figure out how this fucker keeps getting into these accounts and doing shit without my damn permission. Anyone got any ideas?

Also, what can I do to stop this person from doing this i.e. software / hardware wise?

My cousin can somehow hack windows xp also, but he doesn't use it to hurt me or anyting, ill check with him.

I appreciate it.

check your logon scripts.
it will help let you know if hes doing it remotely or just walking in with a password cracker on a flash drive or something..

How do I check the logon scripts? I'm a computer noob can'tcha tell?

boot in f8 mode or safemode and password protect the ***** account...

Ill give this a shot.

Dude you can't passwor protect the ***** account. It doesn't give you that option. He's probably using Austrumi to reset your account. Its only 50 mb so it can be deployed and accessed remotely. Its also bootable from a CD or flash drive

then press F1 during boot... Duh, CMOS settings WILL let you add a pass to the ***** account or just use a CMOS password, but there are ways to get around those.

Once in CMOS go to security and choose add ***** password... there you go

you know.....i was gonna say the same thing bout not being able to password protect ***** accounts.
