Does requiring a password to initially log onto a personal computer help to protect it from hackers and such or is it just to keep other people in my household from gaining access to my personal PC space?

I would suggest you use a password just so nosy family members don't go on your computer/account. It doesn't really keep away from hackers though.

yes, depending. It's always a good idea to have an administrator password, just in case. U can tell ur friends and family what it is if u want them 2 have access, but leave it at that.

Use a password as it will also stop any potential burglars selling your PC or anybody accessing details from your machine.

No, its simply a password to keep other people off your PC.
