password protect

[DuffMan]

Is there any way to lock win XP with a password to prevent unauthorized access. One password to lock all accounts.

Two ways to do this, really:

1. If you want it shut off, then log on as Admin and then Hibernate

2. If you just want to lock it down, just hit Win+L and the Lockdown screen will come up (it looks like the Classic login screen).

*cough* reset button *cough*. Just disable the accouts you don't want
