Hello,
It's very important to add a password to Admin's account on windows 7/8/8.1/10 because in a not configured windows, this account haven't password ! Yes it's dangerous !!! If a person teft your pc or if your child try to hack your pc, they can easilly change Admin Password with windows install cd !(local hack)

But you can change this password : just open windows cmd in administrator and type :

net user Administrator *

It will ask to change password. But some AVs (like Qihoo) asked you if it's you or an hacker : just said it's you.

Here you are ! You are secured from Local Attacks... but I don't know if Kon-boot can bypass this tip...

If your PC is left unlocked, it's not a hack.
