Answer:
When you first set up a new computer, Windows prompts you to set a password for your account. You may have missed or skipped that step, or previously removed the password. Windows does allow you to add a password to your account later through the User Accounts feature in the Control Panel. Once set, Windows displays a password text bar when it boots up. If a user enters an incorrect password, he cannot gain access to the account. This security feature deters curious employees or malicious hackers from accessing sensitive business data on your computer.
