Adding Password Protection to a Computer

RE: Adding Password Protection to a Computer By aardvark (97) Contact oops............................. left out a step after "start menu".... go next to "control panel"..... THEN to "user accounts." Hope I didn't confuse anyone --- I'm usually very confused when it comes to 'puters. :) Posted on 02/10/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Adding Password Protection to a Computer By AML (21) Profile Contact If you don't set up an Admin password, (and the person is knowledgable about pc's) they can erase the user passwords and still get in. FYI Posted on 02/10/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Adding Password Protection to a Computer By aardvark (97) Contact Thanks to all. I now know how to *go to the start menu *go to user accounts *go to each account you wish protected *click on change a password and follow instructions. --------------------------------------------------------- *You must do this for ALL the accounts to protect the whole computer, *turn OFF the guest account. *ALWAYS log OFF each time you leave the computer unsupervised.

Contact all you have to do is make a new administrator password and not give it to the person you are trying to block. I've had to do it myself. Unless this person knows how to hack in, you're safe!

There you will seen in the MAIN tab...towards the bottom there is a SUPERVISOR password option and a USER password option....the USER option will make it so that when you turn your PC on you have to type in your password before it will go into windows, the supervisor password will make it so that no one can get into your bios....if you are wanting to protect from someone who knows a bit about computers I would recommend setting BOTH passwords... Hope this helps you! Posted on 02/09/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse
