Does anyone know how to set up a screensaver password so
that my children cannot use my computer without asking?
I know that you can go in under Display / Screensaver and
click the box that reads ON RESUME, PASSWORD PROTECT,
however it says you must have a logon password which I do
not use.

Is there a way to set my logon password? I have been
unable to find info on that in my searches?

Thanks,
Beth
