Answer 1

You can protect your laptop from being accessed by another user when you set up password protection, which is available either through Windows and through the BIOS Setup utility. For complete protection, it is advisable that you set passwords in Windows as well as through BIOS Setup. To cancel password protection, set an empty password. checkout this site for a step by step guide http://www.learnlaptoprepair.blogspot.com/2013/09/how-to-set-up-password-protection-on_26.html hope you find it useful.
