Clear the CMOS data via motherboard jumper, password is cleared.

Enter BIOS and set boot order to other medium.

Boot from this other medium, crack/reset the Administrative password
(any of them).

Reboot, re-enabling the password in the BIOS to your own config.

Parents may not know how to get control back.

OK, so we found a way to break in...

Install a physical lock on the computer to prevent the case from
opening. Break the physical lock with cutters.

Back to square one. Now what is your suggestion?

Just a note (not intended for directions) to show that any current
mechanism to protect people are useless if the people have physical
access to the machine. Lock it in a cabinet, break the lock. Seal the
machine in a separate room, sledgehammer through the wall.

In today's world, there is nothing that can stop physical access.
Network access is the easiest, but physical isn't that hard to come by
anyway.

Thanks for your time.
