How do I set a password so no-one can use my PC?

I tried "set user password" and "set administrator password" in BIOS but they don't work like it has on my previous PCs. I want it to ask for a password before even booting up Windows but instead it only asks for it to use the BIOS.
Is there any setting I need to change?

No...I was thinking more on the lines of disconnecting, or just turning the monitor off! Also, you can use clear tape, and tape down the "enter" key....no boot or no video!!!!! Nobody thinks of stuff like that! I learned it from the IT dept. at the engineering company I used to work at. They were always messin' with each others computers...another thing you can do is turn down the visual settings from the monitor controls!!!! Works every time!!!!

    I recently purchased a Airport Express base station and everything works fine except I can't figure out how to set it up so I have to log on with a password every session. I'd like to be sure my neighbors aren't using my network...
    I went to the Mac store today and the advice they gave didn't even work!
    Do you know a sure fire way for me to establish this type of network?
    Thank you!!!

    Do you know a sure fire way for me to establish this
    type of network?
    Applications > Utilities > Airport Admin Utility
    Scan and Select your Airport
    Click Configure
    Click Change Wireless Security
    Select WPA
    Use a password like this (ie not from a dictionary).

    Remember it.
    Click OK
    Click Update.
    You will be thrown off your wireless network, wait five minutes and when you re-join you will be asked for a wireless password.
    Done.

  • HELP! how do i set up my internet so i can use BB messenger and Apps world?!

    right. ive looked everywhere on the internet for help and i cant find what im looking for. i phoned up Vodafone and asked for the Blackberry Internet Service and they added it to my contract.. 
    but now im stuck. i know that it has to say GPRS or something in the corner, and mine only says GSM, so first i want to know how to change this?
    second,  when i click Setup>Set Up Wizard> Email Setup  im sure theres meant to be an option to make a new address? but mine only says "i want to use a work email account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server" and when i click next it asks for an activation password ?
    i also tried to set it up on the blackberry site, and it asks for me to first choose my wireless service provider from a list of one.. how do i find out which one it is? and the only options are canada and united states.. i live in the UK! 
    also, i read something about "host routing table"?
    and when i click this and try to register an account it says "registration message queued. it will be sent once data coverage is available" whats this mean?
    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANYONE WHO HELPS ME!

    That simply indicates that your Vodafone account is not yet provisioned with the BlackBerry Data Plan.
    Try this:  With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
    Now, try the personal email setup again.
    If still no personal email setup, you need to call Voda and get an ETA on the provisioning.

  • How do I set up a PC so I can use it on my Airport network?

    iMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    JBwhatever, Welcome to the discussion area!
    This is highly dependent on which version of Windows you are using and probably somewhat dependant on the hardware you are using.
    Perhaps you should post this question in the AirPort > AirPort for Windows discussion area.

  • How do I set a password for adobe reader?

    how do I set a password for adobe reader

    You can set a password for your device (iPad or iPhone) in Settings. You cannot set a password on the Adobe Reader app itself.
    If you want to password protect a PDF document you cannot do it in Reader. It must be done in Acrobat on Macintosh or Windows.

  • How do I set a password on an specific Smart Mailbox only?

    I want some of my folders in Mail to be of restricted access with a password. Is that possible? Alternatively, how do I set a password to open Mail so not everyobe sitting in my front of my laptop can have access to it...?
    Thanks in advance.

    Whenever I open AirPort Utility it tells me "No configured AirPort base stations have been found. Airport Utility will continue searching."
    "Hard reset" the Extreme by holding its reset button in continuously, until the LED flashes amber rapidly. Connect to the open network it creates (Apple Network nnnnnn) and configure it with AirPort Utility.
    How do I set a password on my AirPort Extreme?
    AirPort Utility will prompt you for that once it finds the Extreme.

  • HT2688 How do I set the password for my iTunes Library Home Sharing?

    I have a new Macbook and I'd like to access my library from my old one via Home Sharing. The library appears in my iTunes, but when I go to enter my Apple ID password, it says that the password is incorrect. Home Sharing is enabled on the old computer. What else could the password be/how do I set the password on my old computer? 

    What password did you define on the computer where the library actually exists?  It could be your Apple ID password but that wouldn't be very smart.
    Just turn off the password for homesharing unless you actually need it.
    Edit > Preferences > Sharing > either uncheck the option to require a password or simply change it.

  • How do i set up three phones on one icloud account?

    How do I set up three iphones on one icloud account? I do not want the contacts, data mixed

    It's a bad idea if these phones belong to different people.... all of your information will be merged and everyone will have everyone's contacts and whatever else you are pushing to icloud.
    However, all you need to do is go to settings>icloud and sign into the same account on all 3 phones.

  • How do I set up my new Macbook Pro without using the annoying Voiceover?

    How do I set up my new MacBook Pro without using the annoying Voiceover?  I cannot get it to work right; it seems to get stuck and repeats the same thing over and over.  It is driving me nuts!  Is there a way to begin the setup process without using the Voiceover system?  I am a new convert from a PC and I thought a Mac was supposed to be "intuitive!" 
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Pamela

    There is no good reason to register your Mac anyway.
    You can opt out of the setup process and registration by pressing Command (Apple key) and the "Q" key.
    The registration process requires you to divulge a lot of unnecessary information.
