| Program To Lock Computer? XP Password Enough?
I have Windows XP. I use password protection to logon and scrensaver entry. Is that good enough to stop an educated computer person to stop access to folders and information? Is there a better program? Help appreciated, thanks.

Depending on how much free access to the computer and how important and private the data some form of encryption on the files would offer much more security. |

Well that depends if he/she knows his/her stuff and they have a physical access to the system then they can easily whack your Admin password via a special boot disk of course they will not be able to access the user encrypted files (via NTFS encryption) but in order to prevent that they can just get your MD5 hash from your SAM file and do a rainbow against it. That way they can get your real Admin password and gain access without leaving a single trace.
