Aim: Setup Password to the Operating System and Application
Create a Password in the Control Panel Assuming you haven't configured
Windows to automatically log in, chances are you simply don't have a password
set for your Windows account.
You need to correct this by creating a password right now. You can make one
from Control Panel. Once you have, you must use it to log on
toWindows from that point forward. That is, unless you at some point
remove your Windows password. The specific steps you need to follow to
create a Windows logon password differ somewhat depending on the
operating system you're using. See
What Version of Windows Do I Have?
if you're not sure which of those several versions of Windows is installed on
your computer. It's always a good idea to create a password reset disk after
creating a new password. If your password is really complex and you don't want
to make a reset disk, consider storing it in a password manager.

Conclusion: Security refers to providing a protection system to computer
system resources such as CPU, memory, disk, software programs and most
importantly data/information stored in the computer system. If a computer
program is run by an unauthorized user, then he/she may cause severe damage
to computer or data stored in it. So a computer system must be protected
against unauthorized access, malicious access to system memory, viruses,
worms etc
