Windows Password{xe "Windows password"}
As well as the passwords to restrict access to Setup and to the overall system, you can also
set a password to access Windows. Note that this does not prevent access to the computer -
anyone can skip the password and still access the data on the hard disk.
However the Windows password does allow you to set up Windows in different ways for
different users. And once the password is entered, Windows can then remember any
passwords for other programs you then set.
To set a Windows password, use the
Password
utility in the
Control Panel.
To stop Windows
prompting you for a password, use the
Password
utility to change to a new password, but do
not type a new one.
