Logon PASSWORD Advice

[terryesh]

I purchased a used laptop with W2K clean installed and intend that it be a single user PC. On boot up I get a dialogue box with User name: Administrator and Password: (blank at the moment). I hit enter and logon continues. In other words it isn't password protected.

It is now time to protect my laptop with a password. I would like advice as to whether I simply create a password for Administrator when logging on or are there other considerations.

I might mention that I installed Outlook Express and Address Book on the Laptop. The data is located under Documents and Settings/Administrator. OE files are down a folder in Identities.

Hi,
If you are the only user then that would be fine.

If you wanted you could password protect that account and also create another account for yourself with administrative privileges.

Degs,

Thank you very much for the reassurance.
