Is there any way to *prevent* this password reset from working? I'm partial to the security of my computers (since they're in a semi-public place) so I like the limited security that OS X offers (though, it'd be nice if it would have a more robust password protection system... i.e. if you reset a computer while the screen saver is running to bypass the password prompt, you should be prompted for a password on next boot).
