he is driving me INSANE! its MY COMPUTER, and he gets to control what people can do on my computer! How does he hack my password to enter my account!? please help, how can i have my right to have my control back on the compouter?

how can i get him to stop hacking my password? please help! what should i do?

Answer 1

Hopefully your account is an administrator account -- unless you brother locked you out of administrator privileges. In that case, hopefully you have the Administrator password.

The first thing you want to do is right click on "my Computer" and click "manage." (I don't have Vista, but hopefully this still works). Then click on "Users and groups". Click on "Users" and find you brothers account. Right click on his name and make sure he's not an administrator. Then you can check the box that says something like "Account is Locked"

(That will prevent him form logging in again.)

Now find YOUR account, and make sure you ARE an administrator. If you'r not sure how to do this, go back to "Users and Groups" click on "Groups" and find "Administrators" and add your account to the list.

Then change your password.

Answer 2

Tell your parents. Keep your laptop secure.  

Answer 3

I am sorry if this doesn't help, but personally this sounds like a parenting issue, not a computer one, your mum, dad, grandparents, legal guardians or whoever is responsible for your safety and welbeing need to speak to your brother and set rules that he will follow to respect you and your property.

Answer 4

Perhaps setting up a BIOS password will help you banish him forever.

Herez how you can set it up :-
