Create Admin Password in Windows XP Pro?

How do I create an admin password in Windows XP Pro? I have the Windows password set and I'm the admin of the computer, but my roommate thinks it's funny to change my password on me by logging into safe mode, going into the command prompt, and changing it from there. How do I get it so there's a password on Administrator in Safe Mode also?

Thanks
 
In the 'run' box on the start menu, type 'control userpasswords2' (no quotes) and OK.

On the screen that appears, select 'administrator' and click on reset password.

I didn't think very many people even knew about that anymore. I use it a lot at work.
