Hi all.
I need to find out if there is a way I can put a password on startup? I have an individual whom likes to sneak and use my clamshell. This person has figured out that if they turn it off and restart it, they can bypass all my blocks....
Desperately need help with this one..... If there is none.... Can anyone suggest any other types of locks I can set up or install.

Thanks

In System Preferences, select Users.

Slap a password on your account and disable automatic login.
 
Thank you. Will this not allow any boot up with network resourses? or can they log in as a guest..... I just want to block this out completely... Its just not a viable option to take it with me to work to ensure they do not have access to it...

I will disable the automatic log in...
