Have you tried changing your Windows password?
If you do that does he still get in?
If he does then get him a job working for a PC security company as he has some useful skills there.
Not being flippant, but if you change your Windows password and he still gets in then he should put his skills to good use instead of wasting them.

Actually it's worryingly easy to crack a windows password!
But that aside, change your password (as VHG says) and also right click on my computer, select manage, then, in the left pane in the window that comes up, click the little + next to local users and groups, click on the users folder and then in the right pane go through all users listed there and either disable ones that aren't being used or change/set the password on all of them.
You could set the bios password, but be aware that in doing that if you forget that password on some systems it can render your motherboard unusable and your left with no choice to replace it! (or get down and dirty swapping bios chips on the board!)
