He may be one of my 14 year-old's friends.

He might have seen you typing in the password. Or your password may be a simple one to guess, like your birthday.

Change your password to a passphrase, eg. James T Kirk is the captain of the USS Enterprise becomes the password jtkitcotusse. Add some numbers and symbols and it becomes jtk&itcotusse2

Why not simply ask him how he does it - get him to show you how?

to which question is the answer NO ??

Just hope he doesn't log on, change your password and lock you out.

Could be:

1. Guest account is enabled
2. Admin account has no password
3. He is booting up in safe mode. (Would still need no admin password)
4. He knows your password

Easyiest thing to do is just to change your password and see if he can still log on.
