Set Password to User Account
You can set a password to each user account to avoid unauthorized use of your
computer. Once you set the password, you need to enter it when you log on to its
account. If you loose the password, you cannot start the computer with that user
account, so unnecessary password setting can cause trouble in starting the system.

Click User Accounts. If Classic view is selected, double-click User Accounts
icon.
3.
Select the account you want to set a password to. You will only have this option
