create additional limited user accounts by operating step 8.

ting a password for your own account.

password, click [Create a password], and the password following the
onscreen instructions, and click [Create Password].
• Remember the password you have set.
It is useful to input a hint in
[password hint] in case you forget your password. In addition, we rec-
ommend that you create a password reset disk beforehand (Î page
21).
Refer to “When administrator password is forgotten” (Î page 49) in
“Dealing with Problems (Summary).”
E Click [start] - [Turn Off Computer] - [Restart] to restart the computer.
F At the Welcome screen, click the created user (user icon) to log-on.
z If the password has been set, enter the password and click . You
cannot operate the computer until the proper password is entered.
Confirm that character input is not set to "Caps Lock" or "NumLk."

z Note also that only the added user account will be displayed in the Wel-
come screen. The account for the administrator created during Win-
dows setup will not be displayed.
