Try this for protection: How to override password on 360 (well I've accidentally done it twice so far) (1) hibernate computer (2) remove floppy drive (3) when you wake it back up, it'll beep (expecting to find a floppy?), give an error code, then you'll be back to where you hibernated from, and not be prompted again for the password. How much do those motion detectors cost again? :)
