If you are asking how to stop it while it is running, simply eject the CD or shut down your computer. It won't hurt your computer if you shut down "unsafely" since it only operates on the RAM and only reads, and not writes onto your hard drive.

If you are asking how to stop it from running succesfully, (as in, keeping your computer secure) simply add spaces or punctuation into your password or keep your password more than 14 characters long. The free version of ophcrack cannot crack passwords with any characters other than alphanumeric or passwords longer than 14 characters. The professional version on the other hand, might be able to crack such passwords.

If you wish to keep your laptop even more secure, go to System Setup (turn on your computer and press what ever key the comp. says to press for System Setup) and change the BIOS option so the computer doesn't check the CD for an OS. Then change the System Setup password so no one can just simply change the BIOS settings to boot OphCrack.
