How to create password for user account?

To assign a password on a machine that is not joined to a domain:

1. Go to Start -- Control Panel.
2. Choose the User Accounts option.This opens the screen.
3. From this screen, choose the user for whom you would like to establish or create a password.
4. From the resulting screen, choose Create a password. If you already have a password, this option will read Change my password.
5. On the create password window, type the password you wish to assign to the selected user. Optionally, you can also provide a password hint. However, for maximum security, this is inadvisable. If you already have a password assigned to your own user account and you try to change the password, Windows XP will ask that you verify your current password as well.
6. Click Create Password button. (or Change Password if you are just changing an existing password)
7. Windows XP next asks if you want to make your files private. Windows XP supports administrative and limited access accounts to be created locally. If you would like your files accessible only by those that hold administrative accounts, choose the "Yes, Make Private" button.
