duno why so big deal, why dun u just wrack ur brother up if he using again?i very he wont even dare to touch it again

that's true, connect the external hdd, install your games, apps etc on the external hdd and connect only when you want to play or use them, if not just disconnect... or get other OS...

1. set bios password
2.set the boot priority



i think your bro go to safe mode ...if no wrong =)

I would suggest you to install a hidden camera and see how he does it. Guessing for thousand years here, won't be any use!! He might not be as clever as everyone here claims to be. Just try to peek on how he does it then you can come out with the solution lol.. Just my notion anyway..

By the way, don't ever use those method mentioned;

1)Set Admin password
2)Change Admin password day by day
3)bla bla..

It's useless as it can be reset or "break". YES, even Admin password.. within seconds.. The so call ahem software can be save in diskette, thumb drive, CD or even it's in your "C" drive already~!!

Good Luck!

How about locking your room up or put your CPU inside a small cupboard & lock it went not in used?

huhu, so trouble~

took d hdd out all thing settle

Your method is lagi susah every time need to plug in out & his brother can buy a new HD & plug in.

Last time my older brother also play my PS2 without my concern & first i took way the controller & memory card he go buy a new one, later lock the whole Ps2 inside cupboard.

Easy.. put ur pc in a cage and lock it when not in use. Solved!

In modern age, we introduce something call security key to lock and unlock the data.

Here is how the security key works....

(1) Bring out your HDD and maybe RAM also and put into a drawer
(2) Lock it with something call physical key. You can buy the locks or key in any hardware shop.
(3) Bring out your physical key when you are not around
(4) Make sure duplication of physical key in not in your house.

And when you need to access it;

(1) unlock the drawer using your key
(2) connect back your HDD and RAM

Simple, right?

It is why in modern ages, you always read about security keys....

And such security keys are more reliable than a password for XP

If you want further security, there are so call double protection; bring out the RAM when you are not around

Most of the discussions here are how weak the Windows password protection is...

IMHO, BIOS password is most secure but it need to pair with small padlock to lock the casing cover.

Usually the pc casing came with small hook to allow you to put padlock on.
Its purpose is to disallow people from resetting the BIOS and BIOS password.

p/s Seriously if you brother still able guess (or hack) the BIOS password, well congratulation to you, your brother is genius, an unstoppable nature born hacker !!!

lol lucky i dont have this kind brother


for me....take out the hdd while u finish using xD....or just use external HDD as your OS hdd ...hahahaha

CmosPwd can reset the bios pssword.. Dun forgot jumper also can reset the bios password..
Computer is upgradeable so no reason somebody cant hack it thought anyway..

To TS, u have many many2 opinion here.. gud luck lor...

get an external hdd.....

share la..

you can try truecrypt or anything equivalent...encrypts whole systems and asks for a password before booting into windows. www.truecrypt.org

sigh......this happen to my family also.......

i might try to get Vantec-300ST for prevention......

sure there available tool in internet for us to hack microsoft password, else they won't have so much encryption tool sell to control window login. since he is your ro, why not create another OS partition for him to use? So he won't touch your stuff and affected your file, imagine a year got 365days, you want set 365 password per year? then better pray for your parent cepat cepat kena 4d then buy 1 more PC to him ad you will free.

consumer level password protection is sorta a joke.... with the right tools, only need minutes to break.. but good enough to deter 'common' people...

ur bro isn't one of them..

if he discovered the method himself, means whatever u do also he'll most certainly b able to bypass....

if a friend pass to him one then he shouldn't b that smart in d first place...

just take all the the IDE/SATA cables, power cables, VGA/DVI cables , and mouse, along with u when ur not using...
should b a major fuss for him to use ur com XD

ya...taking out the parts is the most secure method...cause last time my friend try to access school's computer, he just go into safe mode then open dos and do something to reset the admin password...really simple thing for windows XP, but for vista really dunno...lolz...

reading ur prob, ive gotta say ur brother must be very annoying..

if i were you, i'd have smacked her head kow2 coz using my pc withour proper permission..
