Password

[emilymat]

Dear all

 

I'm a bit of a dumbo on compters. I have had adesktop for years in the house and only I use it.

 

I need to leave Thailand for several months and wish to store my computer with a friend.

 

When I open up my computer it just comes on my name as the 'user' and I click. I now wish to put some form of password in but, for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it. I've been round and round thecontrol panel but can't figure it out.

 

Can anyone one help. I'm sure it's simple to others. I have Windows 7.

 

Thank you

Windows 7

1. From the Start menu, select Control Panel. ...
2. Under "User Accounts", click Change your Windows password. ...
3. Under "Make changes to your user account", click Set a password.
4. In the "New password" and "Confirm new password" fields, enter the password.

For confirmation of the above google "put password in win 7"

And don't forget it until you return in a couple of months

If your friend is computer smart it would not hinder him to get access to your data (if that is a concern).
