Once you login with your current account, go to your control panel and open
user accounts. You will be able to change/set your password from there.

Yes, after you set your password, only you will be able to login to the
computer - of course, if there are other users who have accounts on the
computer, they will be able to login using *their* account name and
password.

Hope this helps :)
