"Hi, my name is Dave Andrews. Today I'm going to show you how to password protect a Windows Computer. To begin, let's click on the start button, and go up to control panel. With the classic view selected, we want to find the users, here it is, user accounts. Now, I'm logged in as Dave, and to change my specific password, let's just click on change your password. If you already have a password, you have to type it in here. Any new password that you would like to set, you just set under new password, save changed password. My password has just been changed. Let's say we wanted to change a password on another user account, at the very bottom here, let's select manage another account. I have several users here, that I can change the passwords on. Let's change the password, by Admin, by clicking on him, and saying create a password. Type in your new password twice and say create password. Now, whenever Admin, or myself try to log in, it's going to prompt me for a password. My name is Dave Andrews, and I've just showed you how to password protect your computer."
