Well you have to admit, that is a really pretty unicorn picture.

 

I would suspect everyone around you (there are ways to go around a Windows password) or maybe just maybe you have a virus. It's probably the first one.

But check your background tasks just in case.

Eitehr a friend / family member of yours actually does have access and is messing with you or you've got some malware, but I don't see what malware would do that :D

I agree,Windows passwords are easy to bypass.

Some people have weird humor...

I did Google reverse image search, though, and didn't really find another case of mysterious wallpaper swapping at first glance. I'd still run an antivirus just to be sure and ask friends, if they're the culprits.

You can put it on your actual wall if you want a memory of it.
