Before You Get Started

To use the Family Safety features in Windows 8, your computer must be set up with at least one password-protected administrator user account. If you set up multiple user accounts with administrative privileges, make sure that they’re all password-protected. And make sure the kids don’t know the password. Otherwise, the kids can easily go in and change any parental controls you import.

Furthermore, each child should have his or her own standard user account. If you have no idea what we’re talking about here, see Chapter 5. There you can learn everything you need to know about setting up user accounts.
