A bad yet can be usefull thing to do.

Snort It

All computers have a Power On Password, Before The Computer Boots the system you have to imput this password.
Well, Most people don't bother to set one.
Say your being locked out of windows or you want to lock someone out.
Go To F8 Durring Boot And the option should be there.
Set it to characters like tr3951, hard to figure out and you will be in complete controll, theres no way around it Twisted Evil

Ok this will completely lock your computer from anyone except the people who know the password.
You can't even boot without this password.

When your comp starts booting hit "F8" untill you go to the settings,
Go to "power on password" Or "Start up password" and change it to whatever you want.

I know that back in the Windows 95 days I could use a bootup disc with a certain password cracker that could retrieve the password. I don't have any idea if and or how difficult it would be on todays computers.
