If you don't have Acrobat - go to Start - Settings - Control Panel - Display
Screensave - Choose an available screen save from teh drop down list and then click password protect - click change to enter password |

Screen Saver passwords are not that secure. Anyone with a boot disk can bypass it.
There is no real 100% secure way of keeping anyone out of a computer short of using duct tape or puting a padlock on the door.

After you get PC back running, seeing how you just posted that can't gain access because of playing around with passwords.
I suggest that you fix the Son.
