I've been an Ubuntu user for a while now and not so long ago one of my computers got hijacked and malicious code was installed in it by simply replacing my password using the various password recovery features in the OS.

Please help me. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Any PC or server is vulnerable to physical attack, if the attacker has unhindered access to the hardware.

So do one (or more) of the following:

(1.) Physically secure your hardware and data.

(2.) Use keys or BIOS password to discourage alternate methods of booting.

(3.) Store your critical (or confidential) data in an encrypted volume, that requires an additional pass-key (or physical token) to allow access.
