How To Put Password On Computer From Children
How to set a password to turn on the computer.
Greetings to all on my blog !! Today I remembered one case, and decided to write about how to put a password on my computer. Once I had to leave home for a week, and since I have a son who was then 10 years old, I decided to put the password on the computer.
Of course, I told him not to touch, we had it was the first computer, and it was already so long ago. In general, leaving the child a computer was risky, and to be sure that he would not turn it on quietly, as it was not believed.
In short, since I myself was still a “teapot”, I started looking for how to put the password on my computer. I was a little afraid that I would put it on, and then later, something would not work and I could not log into the system, I was still “The Teapot Squared”. I set the password, of course, and calmly left.
There are many cases when you need to “password” your computer, so this is a very useful feature that is on the computer.
So I thought that newcomers might have the same questions, but they don’t know how to do it, so these are newcomers for you, my beloved “Dummies” for you.
On my blog, I sometimes began to write articles on the topic “Working with Windows”, you can read articles on how to configure Windows XP, how to configure folders for convenience, what to do if your computer freezes.
Well, back to the topic as put a password on windows, Now I’ll show you as detailed as possible on the example of Windows XP, in other systems about the same.
How to set a password to turn on a computer with Windows XP OS.

2. Click on the “Start” button at the top, click “Admin” in how can your name be. See fig.
3. Then you get here, look at the pic. You need to click on the “Back” button. See fig.
4. Now you need to select “Create Password” here. See fig.
5. Now we insert your invented password in the first field, confirm it in the second field, and write a hint in the third, lower field. Only you should know this hint, as everyone will see it. See fig.
6. Then you will be taken to a page where you will be asked to make all folders and files personal, you need to click on the “Yes” button, make them personal. ” See fig.

I thank the information I really need.
Useful feature for the user! And how to restrict access at all to turn on the computer, if 2-3 accounts are created and be sure that the child will not turn it on without you.

If I’m not mistaken, then you can put the password on any account. I use only one myself !!
Set a password, and then, when turned on, start a program such as Kon-Boot, and calmly bypass all passwords on all accounts. In this case, the password will remain in place, like no one turned on the computer.

Well, that’s the question they decided how to open ha, ha))))
