LOL!  I've just been through this on the kids Windows boxes.  It doesn't 
allow them to enter the password - my wife must do that (or myself). 
Basically it takes the current date as an integer and the hour as an integer 
along with a secret three character word.  This can be changed by my wife or 
I.  Thus to log in they must call us.  It also allows us to set a time 
period at which point it warns them 5 mins before (to save work) and shuts 
down the computer.  My eldest daughter is a bit of a fiddler so I made it 
self healing.  As it's running on a Windows box a batch file runs at startup 
(called from a service) so if she deletes it etc it just copies itself back 
for the next time.  So far she has not been able to beat it.  <g>  It's not 
written in Rev else I'd share the code.
