Create a Password

Create a strong password that's easy to remember by thinking of four random words, for example, something like "PianoShelfBlanketDoor" is a good password.

• Click the Create a password link.
•  
• In the Create a password for your account page,
•  
• Type Type a new password as PianoShelfBlanketDoor.
• Type Type the new password again to confirm as PianoShelfBlanketDoor.
•  
• You can type a password hint, but you have to be careful that it doesn't give away your password to anyone who turns on your computer. It might be better to write it down somewhere safe.
•  
• 
• Press the Create Password button.

When you turn on your computer, you have to enter your password.

• Type Type your password as PianoShelfBlanketDoor.
• 
• Press the green arrow button.

If the screen saver password protects your computer, then you have to enter your password.

Remove My Password

If your computer is locked in your room where no one else can ever get to it, then you can remove your password, but even then, I don't recommend it.

• In the What do you want to change about your account? page,
• Click the Remove my password link.
•  
• In the Are you sure you want to remove your password? page,
•  
• Type To verify your identity, type your current password as your password.
• 
• Press the Remove Password button.

When you turn on your computer, you do not have to enter your password anymore, and the screen saver does not password protect your computer anymore.
