Greetings Loretta again,
Now I am getting around to putting that password on my computers I wonder if 
you could clarify for me regarding when I go to unlock either computer that I 
can do this successfully!
Would the keystrokes, control alt delete followed by my chosen password and, 
enter, be the way to unlock the computer taking your method of putting on the 
password in to account?
I would like to know at your convenience before I lock!
I presume the answer to my question is yes but I want to be sure, be sure, 
before I lock for obvious reasons.
All the best,
Tony Sweeney.

  Hi Tony,

  Below is just one way of putting a password on your computer:

    1.. Select My Computer but do not enter into it. 
    2.. Application key (third key right of the spacebar)  enter on "Manage". 
    3.. Down arrow to "Local Users and Groups" and then right arrow to open 
this up and then down arrow to "Users". 
    4.. Tab then to list of users and down arrow to e.g. Tony. 
    5.. Using your application key again select Password and enter. 
    6.. Type in Password and confirm and then tab to ok.
  Try this and see how it goes for you as I know there are other methods of 
completing this task.

  Loretta

  Hi All,
  As a security precaution I would be anxious to put a password on my laptop 
and while I am at it on my PC also!
  Could Paul, Loretta or anyone else on the list please take me through the 
steps of how to do this?
  All the best,
  Tony Sweeney.
