Boot to Safe Mode and Windows' built in Administrator account becomes available (from the Welcome Screen, for example.) The built in Administrator is like any other Administrator account. Most people don't know this, and so Windows' built in Administrator account is not password protected.
If you decide to password protect the built in Administrator account, don't ever lose the password. The built in Administrator is often the last hope when a computer gets messed up.
If your daughter does not know the password to any other account, and if her own account is not Administrator, the only way she could access other accounts is through guessing the password or hacking. Hacking requires the knowledge to use hacking tools.

I suspect that my daughter is accessing the computer, even though she has not been given a password for either of our accounts. Thus, my question about whether she could be by-passing the password requirement in order to gain access to the system. Is there a way she could be doing this? and, if so, is there anything I can do about it?.
