Set Password to User Account

You can set a password to each user account to avoid unauthorized use of your
computer. Once you set the password, you need to enter it when you log on to your
account. If you loose the password, you cannot start the computer with that user
account, so unnecessary password setting can cause trouble in starting the system.
Setting Password
1. Click start - Control Panel.
2. Click User Accounts. If Classic view is selected, double-click User Accounts
icon.
3. Select the account you want to set a password to. You will only have this option
if you log onto the computer as a member of the Computer administrators group.
If you log on the computer with a limited user account, skip this step. (You
cannot set a password to another user account.)
4. Select Create a password.
• If the password has been already set, Create a password will not
appear.
• Only the members of the Computer administrators group can set a
password to another user account.
5. Type a new password.
6. Type the new password again to confirm it.
7. If necessary, type a password hint word to remember the password you set.
8. Click Create Password.
9. Close the User Accounts dialog box; then, the Control Panel window.
