How can i assign a password to a Mac book?

[Dhruv]

Hello Friends,

I have a Mac book and i would like to assign a password to my main user account. I had installed Leopard osx on my laptop. It should ask me the password option whenever i try to access it. Can any one tell me how can i do that?

Thanks.

Try to search for System Preferences and then click on "Accounts". Then go to "Insert your Account Name Here" and after that click on "Change Password" or "Set password" option. Enter your desire password and click on Ok. Then an automatic pop-up will come up on your laptop asking you for your password, whenever you will access it.
