My roommate keeps creating his own administrator account on my mac using this method:

I tried changing the permissions on the .applesetupdone file. Short of locking away my computer all of the time, any ideas on how to protect from this?! I can't believe it is this easy to get past password protection.

Thanks!

Get a new roommate.

Frankly, a determined hacker with know how is going to continue to do this whatever you do. My advice? Either report your roommate to the appropriate authorities or get a new one.
