Change her account [and every other except yours] to non-administrator, then she won't be able to change it anymore.

Go on control panel and make sure your admin, click hers, delete her password, go in and change her to another type of account, then make sure you have a password and are logged off when your not there

If your mom wants to be an administrator, do you really have the right to stop her?

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair,
gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your
inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet
spirit which is of great worth in God's sight

Not stop her from being one,
but stop her from changing me.

Or, you could try the non-traditional way and explain to her that you need the administrator status to fix anything on the computer when problems might come up.

You cant do that, either one or both, if both then she can just delete your password and change your status

Haha!
If you like talking to an ignorant tree stump, then, yes, that would probably work.

I can only see four ways that your mother could use to change the password. She has an administrator account, she knows your password, she's using a Linux distro to edit some files, or she's exploiting some other flaw in Windows. Most likely, she has administrator privileges. The problem with Windows is that you need administrator privileges to do anything useful. Just having a user privileged account gets annoying after a while. But if talking to her doesn't work, that would be the only option. You might also want to disable booting from cd, flash drive and floppy, from the bios, and password protect the bios. This would keep any of your mom's haxor tools from reseting your password. :)

I don't say it to be mean, as I know that does sound horrible,
but my mom has no understanding that it would be easier for me to just fix whatever is wrong, rather than tell her, step-by-step how to do it.
She also believes that whenever I have administrative privs. that something will get messed up.
Complete bullshit, but I can't say anything, or she'll kick me off the computer.

Right i am going to assume that you are using the welcome screen to log in yes? Right now there is a way of hiding your account from the welcome screen AND from the USERS part of the control panel. Its a registry hack but i think if you look for a program called X-SETUP it will give you the option to hide certan users from the welcome screen. Now you may ask how do i login now? Easy, when you load the pc up and the welcome screen is present pres cntrl+alt+del twice and you will get the classic login where you can enter the username and password! Heres a copy and paste of what i just said. Start/Run/Regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList.
Note: There is a space between Windows and NT. Add the username you wish to hide as a DWORD value. Set the value to 0 (zero). This will prevent the user from showing up on the welcome screen. You will need to press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at the logon screen to get the old Win2K logon, to be able to logon to the account you've hidden. Adding a username and setting the value to 1 will cause that user, such as Administrator, to show up on the Welcome screen as well. This should hide you from users in control panel as well.
Have fun :P and remmember to backup your registry before making any changes. Oh and i almost forgot. You will not be able to open up the classic login menu if someone els is already logged in. Post edited at 9:42 am on July 27, 2007 by Dickij03
