How to pack a computer

To protect your computer from unwanted users, it is better to take care of creating a reliable and complex password, which must be entered at each entrance to the system. This is especially effective when you need to limit access to children, curious friends or colleagues on a working computer. The Windows system has two options for installing a password on a computer: one of them is simpler and fastest, and the other involves the installation of code in BIOS, which in itself is difficult if you are an inexperienced user.
