Password Protect Your Screensaver

Setting A Screensaver Password

Here’s an easy way to password protect your computer when you step away for a bit:

  • Right click on an empty place on your desktop
  • Select ‘Properties’
  • Click the ‘Screensaver’ Tab
  • Click the ‘Password Protect’ box (or it may say ‘On resume, password protect’)
  • Click ‘Apply’
  • Click ‘OK’

Now it’s set that whenever your screensaver is activated, a password will be needed to access your computer.

The password will be the same as your windows logon password.
