Actually, you don't need any programs or softwares just to lock your PC. May I know what Operating System are you using? Is it Windows XP or Windows Vista? If you are using these two OS then you can actually put passwords on your account by just going to your Control Panel and go to Users. Edit your account and place passwords. On the next startup, your PC will ask for a password for your account. Hope it helps!

Hmm, I guess your computer might contain any keyloggers that's why your password is being extracted from them. Why not check first your system. If that's the case hide your admin account and make another account for them and make it limited. They can still use the computer but with limited access.

Actually, I don't really use any 3rd party softwares. I don't trust those softwares that offer that kind of security and it is a risk to yourself. What I can recommend is try using the built in security of Windows XP.
