Setting Your Password

Unless you create a password that allows you to gain entry to your user account, anyone can log on to your computer and access your files. If you want to protect the computer from unauthorized access, create a password that’s easy for you to remember and difficult for others to guess.

Create a Password

  1. Click the Start button, and click your account picture to display the User Accounts window for your account.

  2. In the User Accounts window, click Create A Password For Your Account to display the Create Your Password window.

  3. Type your password, and then type it again to confirm that you didn’t make a typing error.

  4. Type a hint that will remind you, but no one else, of your password.

  5. Click Create Password.
