Password Protect Your Laptop

Make sure your put a password on your laptop computer.  If it is lost or stolen, it may help protect your data. 

I got a call from a girl last night asking how to get into a password protected laptop.  She had forgotten her password from three weeks ago.  The alarm bells went off for some reason.  I told her to take it to a repair shop.  At least the repair shop could really check to see if it was her laptop.

So save yourself some grief.  Put a password on your laptop.  Not sure your password is any good?  Check out Microsoft's password checker at: http://www.microsoft.com/protect/yourself/password/checker.mspx .
