Today I just read that ANYBODY with a repair disk can boot up my computer and reset my password. If they copy the command prompt to the sethc.exe file they can reset your password by using sticky keys. I read it here: http://www.pcworld.com/article/249181/how_to_reset_your_windows_password.html

Thank you very much
