Any way to prevent a Standard account from creating a password?
My friend has a kid that keeps password protecting their account so their parents can't get into the kid's account. The kid has a standard account and obviously, the parent can go in and remove the password, but its getting tiresome. Is there some sort of way to block a user with a standard account from creating a password on Windows 7 Home?
Thanks in advance ![]() |

Hello vram,
One way would be to remove the password for the account, then use the tutorial below to prevent that account from be able to change it's password. Password - Prevent or Allow to Change If they like, another option would be to turn on the Guest account, and have the kid use it instead. It cannot have a password created for it. Guest Account - Turn On or Off Hope this helps. ![]() |

Creating a standard user account for security purposes? Hey forum, I never thought about it until recently when a friend mentioned it. He said even though I am the only one that uses my computer, that I should still create a standard user account and use that to greatly increase the security of my system.
