Go to start>control panel>user accounts> add a new account> follow instructions. Then click your own name and click add a password.
Good luck!!

I think that your talking about a BIOS log in. Some BIOSs accept this. Try running setup when you next boot your machine (usually F2 or ) and have a look through the setup options, you might find something useful. Just be careful that you don't change anything important!!!

Go to start / control panel / user accounts . Don't forget your password if you are using windows xp or 2000.

you can go to user accounts where you can change your user settings. You can also give ur account a password which will be asked b4 u can log onto ur account.

Set up the computer, so that it remembers your password each time you log in. You don't have the hassle of forgetting it then. When it asks you if you want to "Remember this password to your computer", say YES.

You need to enter the BIOS or SYSTEM..Usually need to press F2, F12, or DEL when the comp is starting BEFORE windows starts to load.

You would need to enable password-protection in the BIOS.
