When it comes to password protection Windows 8 has some additional security…built in to it and we're going to take a look at it now.…We'll do this by accessing our Settings.…Let's use the keyboard shortcut Windows+I. Next we'll click at the very bottom…right corner on Change PC Settings.…This takes us into our settings and we're going to go to Users.…Here's where we access our passwords.…You'll notice there are a numbers of different sign-in options.…One, we can change our password, that's what we type in when we login to the computer.…
So if we click Change your password, you'll need to know you current password…before you can change it to something else.…So you type that in, enter your new password twice, hit Next and you're done. That's standard.…But there's some new functionality, we're going to take a look at, …so let's click Cancel.…Here's something called Create a Picture Password.…This is very useful for touch devices, touchscreens, tablets for example, …but we can do it here on the computer.…
