You can enable passwords to be used for all user logons.
Right click on My computer>Manage. From there, under System Tools, go to
Local Users and Groups. Expand the catagory. Click on Users. In the right
hand side, right click on Administrator and say "Set Password". Set the
password to one which only you know. This will basically disable the
friendly logon and prompt for a password on startup. You can then create
your own user with admin rights, password protect the account, and then use
that logon instead of Administrator.
