fyi only - related to legal issues: IANAL, but I've been told that in the USA if a family computer has no password, then there is no right to privacy. If the computer does have a password, then there is. (At least as regards adults. Children don't have a right to privacy from their parents.). So while the password may not offer much if any technical security, it establishes legal security by making it a crime for another family member to bypass it. Note that in the US most corporations have a legal disclaimer that states they own all the data and the user has no right to privacy. Thus a corporate IT person or investigator is within their legal rights to ignore the presence of a password. I am NOT saying this argues one way or the other for the default, but I wanted to highlight that having a password is more than just a weak security issue.
