    You may want to prevent others from making changes to your computer. Like having a roommate or child install some program on your computer that will always start when Windows starts or changing your browser's home page, etc.
    The Lock feature lets you set a password to prevent someone from easily making these changes. You won't be able to approve any changes in Geek Superhero without entering the password. It will also make you enter the password to change any of the settings or exit Geek Superhero, so they can't just close it or turn off the protections to make the changes.

    The password window is smart. Often when installing a new program you'll get several alerts from Geek Superhero. But if you've entered a good password within the last 2 minutes, it won't make you enter it again for each alert.

    Make sure you remember your password! There isn't a way to get it back or look it up if you forget. You'll need to uninstall Geek Superhero to clear it.

    Note: A knowledgeable person would be able to get around these passwords using some more advanced Windows things to close and disable Geek Superhero. But most people will be stopped.
