How to prevent anybody from changing my password with the sethc.exe hack?

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

 

 

I tried it and it worked. I am now very concerned that somebody will be able to get in to my computer. How can I prevent people from hacking my computer by doing this?

 

 

Thank you very much
