Administrator password

Is it possible to press a combination of keys and reveal the user passwords?
I set myself up as administrator and my children as limited, the day after
my 14 year old son knew my password?
All he would say is that he pressed 2 or 3 keys and it shows the most
pressed keys or something like that, but he will not say which keys, he says
it's his secret.
I would like to know how he's doing this or at the very least how I can
prevent him from finding out my new password, without having to ban him from
the computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
