At the Microsoft company forum, the problem was raised more than once when, after a clean install windows  10 or updates to the new edition, users could not log in, as the defaultuser0 account window and a password prompt were displayed. Also, users faced such a problem, whose PC from a long sleep came out under this unknown record.

The developers explained this problem with the problems in the Windows 10 build itself and recommended reinstalling the system. However, the login under the defaultuser0 account in 80% of cases appeared on unlicensed assemblies. Therefore, the problem may lie in this factor.

However, if you have an installation disk and you can boot from it, then you should enter “RMDIR / S / Q% SYSTEMDRIVE% \\ USERS \\ defaultuser0” on the command line and delete the fake account. It is important to note that you should not confuse defaultuser0 with DefaultAccount.

Situations in life arise different. One person needs to keep some commercial secret or love correspondence a secret, another does not want to lose important documents if the child wants to play on the computer.

  Additional features

After the password is created, the input becomes available via a digital pin code, and for owners of computers with touch screens - a graphic password. The latter allows you to select any image and make several gestures on the screen, which are saved and later serve to authorize the user.

Thus, the Windows 10 operating system allows you to protect your documents, programs and personal data from unauthorized persons. The only thing that is required of the user is to create a strong password that the attacker cannot pick up. It is also advisable to enter a good hint or write down your password in a safe place, as it is not uncommon for the user to forget the entered sequence of characters and have to ask for help in restoring access to the account.

The easiest way to use Microsoft account information. There are two pluses in this: you can install a new code word from any personal computer with Internet access, and ... the big brother represented by the good corporation will know about all our secrets. Jokes jokes, but if you forget the credentials of the admin, then the case is really bad. For example, utilities for resetting access information did not regularly work on Windows XP. Therefore, you need to take care not only about how to put the password on a Windows 10 computer, but also how not to forget it.

From this point of view, a Microsoft account again demonstrates its advantages. There you can attach the mail, and the phone, and for certain you somehow remember the necessary information. Not one method, so another. The password on the computer, in contrast, can only have a simple hint. And you need to make sure that its true meaning remains out of reach from unauthorized persons.

Regular method

Of course, you need to start with the simplest. And these are the settings in the Start menu, indicated by the gray gear. Click there and rather go to the Accounts tab. You will notice that this equipment is not the most convenient to work with it. In fact, what we see on the screen?

1. Some kind of gray lettering.
2. Nick our account.
3. Offer to sign in with Microsoft account.

The user interface in Windows 10 is not very friendly. And where the password is set is completely incomprehensible. Look at the Login Options tab. To set a password on Windows 10, simply enter it and a hint in the suggested fields. The latter is a must.

Password setup is complete.

Additional options

But we have seen that, in addition to the letter-letter designation, you can specify a PIN code or graphic key. How to do it? To use these benefits of civilization, you need to set a password on Windows 10 as described above. Then the Add buttons will become available. Rather, click them to look at the result.

To install a PIN, you need to prove once again that we are administrators. Let's do it!

PIN code can be very simple and consist only of numbers, which greatly simplifies the management of snap-ins. Immediately after entering it into the system, the possibility of a reminder will appear.

Many have a question about how to use PIN. Very simple. For example, when you enter the laptop will ask exactly these numbers. In the information entry field, the word “enter PIN code” will be gray.

Graphic password

The point of introducing this innovation is to provide additional protection. Made in the form of gestures he:

• reliable;
• visual
• easy to enter;
• difficult to break into.

The system divides any picture chosen by the user along the long side into 100 parts, due to which a change in resolution does not give an increase in reliability. But even this is more than enough. In the theory of random numbers, it is proved that already with four movements (line, circle, triangle, and so on), the protection goes higher than that of standard tools  (alphanumeric code). Not surprisingly, many people want to change the password so that the graphic component is included.

It is alarming that we are talking about the touch screen. Graphic protection in the eighth version was introduced to ensure the protection of tablets. Let's see if you can change the password with the mouse. Immediately we offer to choose a picture. Choose her.

Do not try to minimize the windows during the process. In version 1607, the shell is collapsed, and it is no longer possible to deploy it. We'll have to start all over again.

Excellent picture with a lot of key points. Can we use it? Let's see! As a result, it turned out that the system has limited recognition capabilities, although it accepts mouse gestures. Three objects are available:

1. Circles.
2. Lines.
3. Points.

Instead of the irregular triangle, she saw a circle. The true trajectory of the pointer is marked in red, and the option proposed by the system is indicated by arrows. This is not exactly what I would like to see in the end. Although hacking such a code is still difficult. We venture to suggest that tablets are used in public places, where it is difficult to focus on precise movements. As a result, users would be very annoyed by the inability to log in. Here Microsoft and simplified gestures utterly.

But the supported objects allow a large degree of freedom. We deliberately drew the line askew, but the system still counted this option. The real trajectory on the screen is marked in red, perceived by the arrow.

This is quite consistent with the assumption of shaking in public places, on foot, escalators, in the subway, and so on. Unfortunately, there is no way to check how well the same actions can be done on a relatively small touchscreen tablet. As a result, it is a matter of caution that the input of gestures comes as an addition to the usual protection system. Does it not turn out that, when installed in calm states, the set of movements will not be possible to be repeated in a hurry somewhere in a public place? There is no way to eliminate such a turn of events by 100%.

Graphic password security

Of the minuses of the system, it can be noted that only three gestures are allowed. So the attacker knows about how the process of hacking should look like. Existing system  It gives the order of one and a half billion combinations, which is comparable to an alphabetic sequence of 6 characters in length, but consisting only of the characters of one register. Any appraiser will call this reliability not very high: medium or low. However, mnemonics can not be stolen, they are difficult to peep, therefore, in combination with conventional means, this technique still significantly increases the system's resistance to unauthorized entry. For example, you can change the password on Windows 10 associated with a Microsoft account directly on the server. This means that any hacker can do the same.

Information stored on laptop disks is at greater risk of leakage than on home desktops. After all mobile computer  Many owners carry with them and sometimes leave without control. To prevent data from falling into the wrong hands, they need to be protected. The easiest way to do this is with a password.

Let's talk how to put a password on a laptop and what method of protection will be optimal for you.

Three lines of password protection notebook

First level  protection is setting a password for access to the OS. Allows you to hide the contents of the disk from the curious "dummies", but not from those who are seriously aimed at data theft.

The next one is over reliable way  - this is setting a password on Laptop BIOS. For his hacking attacker will have to work hard.

The maximum level of protection is provided by setting a password to hDD. But it is better not to use this option unless absolutely necessary. Next you will find out why.

Password Access Protection in Windows

What's good

Simplicity and security.

What's bad

Low reliability. Easy to crack. For the protection of particularly valuable information is not suitable.

Who is suitable

Those who want to protect personal files from access by others, for example, family members or colleagues.

How to install in Windows 8-10

For the first time, Windows 8 users were able to use not only a symbolic, but also a graphic password for entering the system. The latter, if it is competently invented, is no less reliable than the text one, but is remembered much easier.

In Windows 10, in addition to password protection, the “Pin-code” and “Windows Hello” functions appeared. The pin code is a short combination of numbers that a user can enter instead of an account password. microsoft records. According to the developers, this is done to simplify logging in to those who use a computer in a safe environment, for example, only at home.

The “Windows Hello” function appeared relatively recently. Its essence lies in the system recognizing the fingerprint, face or iris of the user's eyes. It is convenient, but it works far from all devices and is currently not fully debugged.

The section for managing all types of passwords in the "eight" and "top ten" is located in the "Parameters" application. In Windows 10, it opens through the "Start" menu (a button in the form of a gear).

In Windows 8 (8.1), for this you need to call the Charms miracle panel, click on “Parameters” and then “Change computer settings”.

Further actions on both systems are very similar, so we will consider them only on the example of Windows 10.

While in the “Parameters” application, open the “Login Parameters” section, select the required type of password and click “Add”.

• To create a text password for your account, open the “Password” subsection. Fill in the appropriate field with a passphrase, confirmation and prompt.

Pin code and graphic password are available only for a Microsoft account (these functions are inactive under a local administrator).

• To set a PIN code (in Windows 10), enter a few numbers in the indicated fields, confirm them and click OK to save. Unlike the Microsoft network account, the pin will only work on this device.

• To create a graphic password, upload any graphic image to the application. Please agree to use this image when creating your password. After that, draw on the image a few simple shapes that you can easily remember, and repeat the picture 3 times.

Password BIOS and disk protection

What's good

It is highly resistant to cracking. Not only protects the entrance to operating system, but also prevents changing the BIOS settings (including preventing the laptop from loading from other media).

What's bad

If you forget your password, access to protected media is extremely difficult. Sometimes - impossible.

Who is suitable

Those who store on a laptop particularly valuable data.

What is special

Unlike stationary PCs, the BIOS password on most laptops cannot be reset by unplugging the flash memory battery where the BIOS microcode with all settings is stored. He's not there. Passwords are recorded in a separate non-volatile eeprom memory, which is not erased when the power is turned off.

Forgotten Password  on some laptop models, you can reset it with special code phrases. The method of compiling these phrases on Asus, Lenovo, HP and other brands of laptops is not the same and is not always effective. Often the problem is solved only by flashing the storage module on the programmer.

Password hard drive  stored in a protected area of ​​magnetic media, as well as in the memory of the controller. When a user enters a password, both copies are compared. Such a dual way of storing a password ensures maximum data security on the disk, but in case of forgetting to restore or reset it impossible. Information will be lost permanently.

How to setup

• After turning on the laptop, press the key combination to enter BIOS Setup Utility.
• Using the arrow keys, go to the Security tab. The necessary options are outlined in the screenshot. Select "Change (Set) Supervisor Password", press Enter and enter the passphrase in the field that opens.

• If you want to set a password for a user (user rights in BIOS are limited to viewing and changing minor settings like date and time), select “Change (Set) User Password” and do the same.
• The option to set a password to disk is here and is called “Change (Set) HDD Password”. If not, then the computer does not support it.

• To save the settings and close the utility, press F10.

Now you have to enter passwords every time you turn on the laptop, without them windows boot  and access to information will be prohibited.
