Hi Paul,
Thank you for taking the trouble to respond.
I wouldn't be concerned about not remembering my password!
not at the moment at any rate!
The below instructions with regard to setting the password I'm sure are fine!
Now when I follow the below and of course Loretta's method of instructions
successfully no doubt, I want to be sure that I have the correct instructions
then myself for unlocking the computer!
Could you confirm or no as the case may be, is it control alt delete, with then
typing in my chosen password, then enter?
I need to be sure of the unlocking method, otherwise I'm going to be left with
two unlocked computers and no way of making contact with anyone for assistance
by email!!
Two queries in one if you like!
the first one I would be happy with, with confirmation or no of the second
required!
All the best,
Tony Sweeney.
All the best,
Tony Sweeney.

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.
