Do you put password on your own computer?

wow. I have never had that problem before but I have windows XP. I have the same password for all of my family but I don't store it on my computer. We have to type it in each time. I'm glad you got it fixed and figured it out though.

NO :S because iam always forgot my password and i try to reduse the using of the password

Hello Honeylore, In the past I put a password on my computer, because I'm a student and I had 3 roommates and I didn't want them to mess up my computer. This year I have another roommates that I trust and so I deleted my password. But something weird happened this year. I was working on something and I switch off my account by mistake and when I wanted to switch back on my computer asked me for the password but I didn't have one. I tried every password that I ever put on my PC but nothing worked. So in the end I had to restart my computer and all the work that I've done was gone. That was just weird, I don't know why my computer asked my to enter a password when in the first place I haven't put one on it. Well take care and have a great day, my friend. ScarFace.

I wonder if perhaps that might have been because when you put in the original password, you had accidentally capitalized one of the letters? Sometimes, a slip of the finger can cause you to accidentally make a letter capital that you didn't intend to, and sometimes, we just end up forgetting it. It happened to me before, and caused lots of problems. Personally, I don't require a password on my desktop because there is very little chance of anyone misusing my computer, so i don't have to deal with this problem.

I never put password on my computer, since there is almost no important data, and also people that use my computer is only me and my little brother.

I really dont put password to my computer as my computer will be used by me and my brother. There is no need to put password

Well at work I would like to have my computer password protected so people can't see my stuff. At home I don't need a password protected computer.

I wrote an article about that which was published in the Across the Board magazine about that in 1991. As a computer professional, I found passwords to be a time waster, and only use them in mission critical applications. NEVER on my home computers. At best in a laptop that is used outside the home a lot (and has private information on it)..

Yes i do put a password on my computer.. Actually i used to stay in a hostel where i had my own computer in my room..So just to stop the access by any other unknown user i would put up a password.. though i would change it every other week bcoz i would let know my friends my computer's password for them to access.. But now my comp is at home and i am working away from home.Still looking forward to settle down in a new city and a laptop being the first thing to buy .. I m now without my personal computer..

I also don't put any password on my computer because no one use my computer thats why i have no need to put password on my computer...

I got 'burned' like that also, I used to have my computer locked, and then one day my computer broke down, and I didn't fix it for 6 months! So when I did try to fix it, I went to open it, and in that time I forgot the password, and couln't open it! Luckily I tried every password I could have used, and finally hit the right one, and from then on, I don't lock it! There is nothing on my computer, that I wouldn't want any one to see, anyway !

yes i do store the passwords in my opera browser itself....i find it easy and effective to do this rather than typing the password each and every time...

yes i put the security password before the computer and os will loading the applications!! if you loose your password there are many things to retrieve it so reformatting your computer usually is the last of the posibility and that one extreme!! i found it useful to get private your computer and file on it!!

well, its common knowledge that windows vista practically sucks...windows xp is way better than vista... besides, why are you using vista anyway? personally, i dont use passwords for my computer because i use it the most and i dont want to re enter a password every time i turn the computer on

Yes, I used to do this on my first HP computer but that was because I was told to by the installing software but now I don't do this. I have a wife who I share our commuter with and so far we have not any problems. Our computer is in the basement of our house so it is just me and her and we are retired...but my wife has a lot of tv shows like the Philippine Stations wowee? the game shows? etc etc but also she like The American Idol...and we watch this upstairs while we are eating our meals..sometimes I wish she would turn this off as she shush me up when Simeon, Paula, or Randy is talking ...lol..there is a Filipina who is in the top ten..she is patoot? but maganda!..sorry, i don't speak tagalog very good...Have a nice day..and I hate usernames, passwords as I always either forget them or they just seem to be boring...I can see it in a internet cafe or at work..but not at home unless you are worried your asawa or children when find out something you want secret..but you are doing the right thing..NO stinking passwords..ma-bo-ha

I don't put password on my computor which I think there isn't a need to do that.

I haven't put the password to my computer,because I didn't have the secret thing in it. If you own the computer is just the family using ,I think it is not necessary.
