Adding a password when you installed without setting the password for startup.

Adding a password when you installed without setting the password for startup a question that has puzzled me but never needed it.
Now a customer did not set his password and this evil man who has got into his phones his laptops his router his neighbour's laptops with Windows which he infected but every time he tried to delete and reinstall windows it wanted him to load the windows already on his machine. Both machines do this has he has infected them both.
He has through this emptied his bank account and he is in real trouble. He is an ex tenant living now two streets away yet does this remotely and he believes he has set up a bluetooth and wireless device somewhere in his house as he is going through bluetooth which has only a short range.
Sunday before last we reformatted his best laptop fastest one I have ever seen with the latest AMD Raytheon with Gparted and installed Linux Mint 19.2 64 bit unfortunetly he did not set a logon password.
He came back this week this evil person has now got into his Linux Mint 19.2 and into the Firewall where the log shows several hours of attempts to get in until he finally did.
We have reinstalled now with a logon password this time.
I expect to see him back next Sunday.
I gave him Tails super secure operating system that runs live of a dvd and does not install on the hard disk, so if the nasty does it again he might avoid him and get on the internet with the Tor browser.
Which leads me to my questions.
Can he set up a WiFi blocker to stop this which he has bought.
How can he trace a bluetooth device transponder.
How do you put a logon password in when you did not setup one on the installation?
How can you protect your firewall as well?
Thanks for your help.
