EXAMPLE: If several family members share a home computer, each person can be assigned to his own account, with restrictions placed on the information each user can access. Changing a User Account or Group To assign a user to a group or change a user's group, log in as administrator and access User Account through the Control Panel. FOR MORE INFORMATION: To learn more about assigning users to groups, see Windows Help and Support: click Start or → Help and Support. NOTE: Some operating systems allow you to choose which hours your children can use the computer by setting the hours allowed for each day of the week and blocking all the rest. You can also view activity reports to see how much each person uses the computer. To see if your operating system includes a parental control device, check the folders or links on your Control Panel, or search Windows Help and Support on your computer. Passwords Anyone can log on to your computer and access your files unless it is protected by a password. If you are logged on to your computer as an administrator, you can create a password for any user account. Passwords can be used to protect your computer in a variety of ways and levels of protection. You can apply passwords to files, as well as to your computer. Passwords with at least a 10-character combination that includes alphabetic, numeric, and special characters adds a level of security to your computer. Using Secure Passwords A secure password is an important way to protect your computer from unauthorized users who may install malicious software or access confidential files from your computer. The stronger your password, the more likely it will prevent your computer from attacks. Security and Privacy 253
