When you NEXT power on your computer, you will be required to supply the selected User-id and password. if not, the computer refuses to let you in.


Choose a Username that you like, such as your name, and password that you can remember, but is NOT a single dictionary-word (unless misspelled), or your birthdate or something a criminal might guess if they knew a little about you.


You will enter this password every time you come back to your computer.
