Bypassing Windows Xp password

How do I set my computer up so that no one can bypass the windows password?
I have set my user with a password and occasionally use windows logo + L to lock my computer when I am away.
Any ideas on how to secure my computer without having to worry that a experienced computer person will not load some sort of virus or spyware?

Forget about windows logo + L when you go away - No password is 100% uncrackable. The best you can do is set one in BIOS. Or simply lock the door with four locks.

ok,
but if I put four locks on the bedroom door at my moms place, that means that whomever (she owns a b&b) enters will take four times longer to get through the door.
Now of any good house alarms?
I am thinking of using a car alarm, taking the door lock solenoid and using it to lock the door from the inside using the remote that comes with it.
Know of anything like that made for a house so that I don't have to put so much effort into it? ie)Most people hurt themselves after work not during

remotely?
I noticed that in the Windows firewall settings that Windows remote access was checked.
Whether or not the laptop came with that setting I don't know.
It would just be nice to be able to finish a whole case of beer without having to worry that some bug decides to twist off my beer cap first.
