>yes you can set your computer up to have a password on

it to stop people from using your computer you set the
password up within the computers BIOS this means that
when you switch your computer on it will ask you to enter
a password you must enter this password to boot the
system up your computer will ask you for the password
before it loads windows up when you type the password it
may not come up on the screen all you may get is "Enter
Password" and a black screen. To set the password you
must enter the computers BIOS to do this you must switch
off your system and then switch it back on but when you
switch it back on hold down the "Delete" key on the
keyboard or it maybe the "F2" key on your keyboard then
it will show you your computers BIOS you do not have any
mouse in this only the keyboard using the arrow keys on
the keyboard or the keys it tells you to use at the
bottem of the screen in the BIOS move along on tell you
find the part where it says set password then select it
and set the password it may then have an option to set
the password to only work when you wish to look at the
BIOS or when you start your computer up if it is not in
the same part as were you set the password it maybe under
Advanced there will be a number of options you will have
to just look though them on tell you find it.

BUT IF YOU DO NOT NO WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN THE BIOS AND
YOU DO NOT NO WHAT THE SETTINGS DO THEN DO NOT START
CHANGING THEM BECAUSE YOU MAY OVER CLOCK YOUR COMPUTER
AND BLOW IT UP!!!!!
