No doubt you have your own account, all password protected etc. That will stop them from accessing your account directly, but have you considered that if they are able to access the Admin account then they have access to your account. Possibly they are doing it thry Safe Mode. It sounds like you need to read up on proper PC security.

first- I have password on every acount on this comp includes guest and administrator.
second - I am almost 100% sure that he didnt know the password third - even I know that when u type in google recover windows password or something like this u will get programs that can do it, and my dad works with computers and he knows how to deal with them. |

Well, there is the Net User command, which will allow administrator account's the ability to change other account passwords without having to know it in the first place.
I would recommend you limit the abilities of every account other than yours, and see if the problem persists.

You could set up a Password in the BIOS so as soon as the computer turns on it will prompt the user for a password.
