Setting Passwords On Your Computer


Part of good computer security is using passwords.  Your user account on your computer should have a password attached to it.  If you do not have one, you can follow the video below to set one up.

Keep your password safe and only share it with your parents and (if necessary) teacher.  Many accounts that people think are "hacked" are not.  It is more a case of carelessness with passwords!

Good passwords often have 8 characters or more, both capital and lower case letters, and at least one special character ...

For additional security, DON'T set up a password only to have your computer remember it - this means that anyone who accesses your computer easily has access to all your private information.
