Look into it.
the user may need oto be on an administrative account for you to be able to end processes.
At a school that's unlikely.
Again this is implemented by the 'lock' feature in Windows.
You could make a Pygame program that does a grab_all, or tkinter for that matter.
this probably won't work though.
I won't go into detail.

I just got into high school, and the network and all the computers aren't secure at all...I'm trying to make a program that password protects the computer after an inactivity time, but there are some specific things I can't find how I'm supposed to do it.

Look into it.
1. Freeze/unfreeze Windows processes OR start/end Windows processes (Preferrably the first)

2. Turn off/restart the computer

3. I can probably find this somewhere else, but I surprisingly haven't: Make a timer that resets when the mouse moves or a key is pressed (That still resets when the window is minimized, inactive, etc.)
