That has always been a disadvantage of At Ease. Once you have booted the machine with another startup disk, you can go into the preferences folder, and throw away At Ease Preferences. All your passwords and settings are then gone, and anyone can reboot on the main disk without any passwords. I've actually liked that feature, because I have bought old machines with At Ease protection, and I was able to change the password that way! Anyway, I know of no way to protect from that oversight with At Ease itself, though I suppose other products could protect from it.
