How the Setup user account password?

Actual title: landing page set up to create a password for windows

I am in my 60's and I don't know much about computers.  I had an old computer that's motherboard died, I went to a repair shop and bought a second-hand, the tech was supposed to add a screen where we could install a password to get into the computer, but of course once I came home there was no place to install a password.  My question is, can you help me set up a landing page to create a password before starting windows.  As it is now, anyone can just sit at my computer and enter.  I want to make it a little difficult for anyone to get into my computer.  Can you help me?

    I'll assume, you are referring to the administrator account, but it can be applied to any local account which is located on the TCS server itself.  It has no impact to change the password, unless you are using doesn't say account to connect to the server of TCS or web interface, it will not affect the application of TCS as most things such as external storage or clustering rely on domain accounts and not the local server.
