If a login password is set, the password must be entered to login to the Operating System.
To set a password:

[Control Panel].
2. Click [User Accounts] to open the dialog box.
3. Click [Change an account] and click the name of the user you want to create a login
password for.
4. Click [Create a password] to open the password setting screen.
5. Enter a password in the [Type a new password] and [Type the new password again to
confirm:] boxes and click [Create password].
A login password can be created by a user with a guest or administrator account and accounts created
for the PC.
If a tip for a password is included, anyone using the PC can see the tips on the [Welcome] screen.
A user with an administrator account can create or change passwords for all users of the PC. A user
with a limited account can only create or change their own password or create a tip for the password.
If a user with an administrator account changes a password for a user, the user loses all the passwords
stored for EFS encrypted files, personal certificate, and web site or network resources.
