Change a User’s Password

If you set up a user account with no password or if you find it difficult to remember your existing password, you can change it.

Assigning a password to each user account is a good practice because, otherwise, someone who picks up the tablet can sign in using an unprotected account. It is also a good practice to assign a strong password to each account so that a malicious user cannot guess it and gain access to the system. You can use Windows 8 to assign a password or create a password that is stronger or easier to remember.
