Video Transcript

"My name is Courtney Hester on behalf of Expert Village. In the last clip I showed you how to make a desktop account for your child. In this clip I'm going to show you how to password protect the administrative account or the parent account to restrict access for your child. We're in the user accounts and here you can see the child's account and our administrative account. If I click in the administrative account I can create a password. I'm going to type in my new password and again type it in again and you can type in a hint word and then create password. When you click yes to file protect your documents, what that means is when your child logins into their account, they won't have access to your my documents file and all the previous files that you've created. Now you've created a password for your account and when it's time to login your child will not be able to access your account if they don't have the password. They will only be able to access their account."
