AFIK physical access is root access as you can always boot a live usb and access the hard drive. IMO the best option is full encryption (LUKS) or at least encrypt any sensitive data — Panther, Jul 24 '15 at 03:45

I found out that is was really simple, all you have to do is run the following command and it adds a password to root.sudo passwd root.
