Securing Your Computer
Passwords
Passwords prevent unauthorized access to your computer. When using
passwords, observe the following guidelines:
• Choose a password that you can remember, but not one that is easy to
guess. For example, do not use the names of family members or pets for
passwords.
• It is recommended that you do not write down your password. If you do
write it down, however, ensure that the password is stored in a secure place.
• Do not share your password with other people.
• Ensure that people are not watching you when you type your password.
NOTICE:
Passwords provide a high level of security for data in your computer or
hard drive. However, they are not foolproof. If you require more security, obtain and
use additional forms of protection, such as smart cards, data encryption programs,
or PC Cards with encryption features.
Use the User Accounts option in the Control Panel in the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
operating system to create user accounts or to change passwords.
Once you create a user password, you must enter it each time you turn on or
unlock your computer. If you do not enter a password within 2 minutes, the
computer returns to its previous operating state.
For more information, see your Windows documentation.
