if he is using safe mode, he is likely dropping into the admin account and changing the password that way--simple solution
change the admin password
change the admin password

That's becuase he's using SafeMode to access the admin account, which is hidden in normal mode
BIOS password is enabled on bootup of computer; depending on your system you can press the DEL key, or F1, F2 to get into the BIOS and find the security area and you can set a BIOS password, but remember, there are ways around that as well - it would likely be harder for this person to "break in" if you just go to the safe mode, log in as the admin, and change the password in Control Panel/User Accounts

you're right...a bios password can be bypassed...a windows password can be bypassed, and a screen saver password can be bypassed.but...if they bypass the bios password...you will know for sure that they have..
