How do I add a login password that can NOT be defeated by just clicking on "exit" in the logon box?
Hello and thanks for the help,
How do I add a login password that can NOT be defeated by just clicking on "exit" in the logon box? I don't want anyone accessing my machine without first typing in the password. Unfortunately, any logon password that I've created can be easily defeated by just clicking on Exit at the logon box. For example: I have added the user "john doe". When I reboot, the login box appears with the name "john doe". If I enter his correct password, the machine successfully logs in. If I enter an incorrect password, the machine blocks the login. If I click on Exit, the machine logs in!!!! A password is useless if it can be defeated by just clicking on Exit! I've tried: Start-Settings-Control Panel-Network-Windows Logon Start-Settings-Control Panel-Network-Microsoft Family Logon Start-Settings-Control Panel-Passwords-User Profile-All users of this computer use the same preference and desktop settings. So how do I add a login password that can NOT be defeated by just clicking on "exit" in the logon box? thanks, DG |
