How can I set a password on my PC

Hello

My PC is Vista and Firefox for about 3 years.

I want to convert it to my exclusive use so I need to set a password before starting to prevent others to open my computer.

And how can I make sure I'm the only Admin?

Thank you

In Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane) choose user accounts. Then Manage another account.

    Another option is the master password + extension.

    You must first make sure that Firefox uses a master password, for more details on how to do that see use a master password to protect stored logins and passwords. Then with the master password + extension in its options, go to the getting started section and make sure that "ask for password at startup" and "Exit if cancelled" is selected both.

    As with all extensions, this protection is quite weak and can be bypassed if start you Firefox in safe mode that disables extensions.

  • How can I set the password for iPad 2 Air to something else than "immediately"?

    I have three iPad, iPad 2, iPad 2 Air and tha iPad Pro.

    My iPad 2 Air gives me the option to "set the password immediately".

    the other two iPads give options, for example, 15 minutes, 1 hour, etc.

    All three iPads running the latest IOS.

    is this a glitch with my iPad 2 Air or are they all like that?

    Why the 'immediately' is the only option? It looks like the other options are missing.

    Thank you.

    You must go to the email address provider and change his password. They will probably have a Web page where you can do. To change the password or close the account, you will need to know the old (current) password, or demonstrate in some way, you are its rightful owner.

    What you describe is the default method for Windows. If your computer falls directly on the desktop and then some configured Windows to remember your password and apply it automatically. You must now cancel this method (and take a step of it for later!):

    1. press Windows + R key on your keyboard.
    2. Enter the following command and press ENTER:
    netplwiz
    3. check the box that requires users to enter a password.

  • forgot my password for the administrative account.i did not a password reset disk. AlSi o do not have a disk to recover. How can I reset my password or put them on the administrative account? __

    I don't remember what my password for the administrative account.i did not a password reset disk.  AlSi o do not have a disk to recover. How can I reset my password or put on the administrative account?

    If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

    In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

    If you reset the password of the account administrator integrated into house or have Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the password of the built-in to a white administrator account. Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burn with third-party burning software such as free ImgBurn , Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Start with the media that you have created. You need to maybe change the boot order in the BIOS or obtain a menu of boot command temporary with the pressure of a special key. NTpasswd will run. Follow the instructions carefully.

    Then, go to the user accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords that you remember and other changes. WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM.

  • How can I block or password protect all the apps?

    My kids are crazy with the printer on my printer app, every day, I have someone has turned on a new application and printed a bunch of comic strips, puzzles, colouring etc.  How to password protect or block all the apps market in the first place?  I always want my printer to be hung on the network for the convenience of printing from any computer in the House, but the apps are driving me crazy and costing me a fortune in paper and ink.  Help, please.

    Hi smjoines007,

    You can go into the built-in Web (EWS) of the printer server and disable the application under the Administrator setting.  To prevent your children to access the built-in Web server, you can also set a password for the built-in Web server.  Here are the instructions:

    a. Enter the IP address of the printer in a Web browser (for example. IE, FireFox or Chrome)

    b. Select the tab 'Settings' (ignore any warning of web server certificate and continue)

    c. Select "Administrator settings" in the side menu

    d. uncheck 'Apps' and apply

    e. Select "Password settings" on the side menu

    f. Select a password for EWS and apply

    I hope this helps.
