Hi Tony,
 
Loretta is away at the moment but I am sure she won't mind me coming in on
this thread. She is correct in her instructions belo. I have tried out what
she wrote just to be sure and it worked fine for me. If you are concerned
about  not remembering your user name and password then just take a note of
them on your phone perhaps and also write them out somewhere else so that
you can look them up in the event of not recalling what the password was.
Paul.
 

1.      Select My Computer  by arrowing to it   but do not enter into it.

 
2 Press the  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  once   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.
