My 5-year old son is addicted to computer games. I changed the password for the only account for the Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 yesterday. I got a call from my daughter this morning, who said my son was playing games again.
What? I didn't believe it. Then I thought I must have not changed my password. After I got home, I logged out the computer. I verified the password was indeed changed. Then I gave the computer to the 5-year and said, "If you can log on again, I'll buy you a new computer!".
Only a few minutes later, my daughter told me he logged on the computer. Geese, how was this possible?
I went to him and said, "Show me how you did it". He was reluctant. I promised him again he would get a computer if he showed me.
He was motivated. I saw he switched off the computer, powered on, then typed a few letters. Then I saw the desktop showed up without login screen. Geese! He broke the latest Ubuntu desktop.
Now, he asked me for a new computer. I was still in the shock -- " Yes, I will. But ten years later". He then was so mad.
