Start button => Control Panel => User Accounts => Change an account, choose the account (probably Owner) and then choose "Change my password"


Disable the guest account, reboot and hit F8 while rebooting and go into Safe Mode. Choose Administrator and then set a password for Administrator so no one can log in to remove your password or reactivate the guest account.
