Password problems

Hi,

I recently had a computer engineer help me with some problems I was having with my G4 Tower.  I wasn’t exactly sure precisely what he was doing while he was here and I didn’t feel I could ask too many questions but I did notice that when it came to typing in the password for my Speed Touch USB (which I was waiting for him to give me the keyboard to do myself) he said he’d already done it by simply ‘guessing’ it. After he keft I tried restarting my G4 and typed-in my usual password....which worked just fine.

Then, however, out of curiosity I decided to try gioing online again to see if it would work with a different password - which it certainly did!! In fact it also worked perfectly well if I just typed in any old rubbish or just a jumble of random keys. This makes little sense to me since my connection is supposed to be password protected.

Does anyoine have any idea what this guy might have done to my computer and/or USB connection to allow this to happen and is there any way I can rectify it?

If my password can be anything anyone might type, am I still protected and, if not, can I undo whatever it is he’s done?

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
