Go to the control panel, open "User Accounts" Click on an account, and it will let you add a password.
If it is not your computer, you might expect some comments from other users.

If you're speaking of a login pwd, they can, in some OS's, hit cancel and bypass this. This is by no means the only way. Try Cont. Panel>Security? for an instant password screen. Comes on as soon as you hit the power. Although if it's not yours you best leave it alone. Your parents would be more apt to pry if you did this!!!

If you want a more secure way, use the password for your BIOS, that is a little more secure, yes you can screw that one too, but if you're not computer savy, you might be secure.
