Use Passwords A key component in preventing intruders from accessing your Windows account is to protect it with a password. If you have not configured Windows to require a password, then follow the procedure that’s applicable to your system.
For Windows XP Home Edition: 1. Click the Start button in the lower-left corner of Windows.
2. Click the Control Panel. (If you don’t see this option, your Start menu is in classic mode. In that case, click Settings, and then select the Control Panel.)
3. Double-click User Accounts.
4. A window opens. Click Change an Account.
5. Select the account you want to change.
6. Click Create a Password.
7. Type a password. Do not choose a word that can easily be guessed.
8. Repeat this procedure for each Windows account. Give each user a separate, unique password. For Windows XP Professional Edition: 1. Right-click the My Computer icon on your desktop.
2. Select Manage.
3. A window opens. In the left window pane, double-click the Local Users and Groups icon.
4. Double-click the Users icon.
5. In the right window pane, right-click the account you want to change.
6. Select Set Password.
7. A window opens. Type a new, strong password for the account. |
