Nowadays, more and more people pay more attention to their privacy protection, and do not want others to see the information in their mobile phones or computers easily. At this time, it is very necessary to set a password for the computer. On the one hand, other people cannot use their own computer without consent, and on the other hand, personal private information is not easy to leak or be stolen.
How to set the computer password:
- First, open the Control Panel, select "User Accounts" and click "Create New Password";
- Enter the user name in the "New Username" column, and enter the new password in the two fields of "New Password" and "Confirm Password" below;
- Select password security, you can choose "low", "medium", "high", and add a password prompt on the right for easy memory;
- Click "OK" to confirm the new password, and enter the new password to complete the computer login.
How to change the password of the computer:
- Go to the Control Panel, click Accounts and Security, then click "Manage Your Credentials."
- In the Credential Manager window, right-click on your username and click Change Credentials.
- In the pop-up Modify Credentials window, enter your new password and enter the confirmation password in your new password.
- Click the "OK" button to complete the password setting.
Points to note when setting a computer password:
- Keep the password length reasonable: at least 8 mixed characters are recommended.
- Passwords must use numbers, letters, and special symbols.
- Try not to use English words, especially words from English dictionaries.
- Try not to use your own attribute values such as name, date of birth, etc.
- Do not use numbers and letters that correspond before and after, such as abc123.
- Try not to use letters or numbers that are arranged consistently on the keyboard, such as qwerty, asdf, 1234, etc.
- Do not use passwords that are too easy to guess, such as using the same number or letter repeatedly.
- Do not disclose personal information to anyone, including family and friends.
- After the password is set, change the password regularly, and try not to reuse historical passwords.
- Set up multi-factor authentication on your computer's account to ensure security.
Hidden dangers that exist after the computer password is set:
- Use a strong enough password: We recommend that you choose a complex password that is at least 8 characters long and consists of letters, numbers and special characters.
- Change passwords regularly: If you change your own or other users' passwords, do so regularly to prevent potential attacks.
- Avoid common passwords: Passwords such as 123456", "password" or "2345678" are vulnerable to hacking and should be avoided.
- Don't share your password with anyone: Don't share or reveal your password with anyone except other users you trust.
- Keep passwords safe: Avoid placing leaked passwords in trusted places, such as on a desk, to prevent unsafe use.
