Login Password

System Preferences > Accounts > User Name > Change Password.

*Click the lock in the lower left hand corner if necessary to authenticate.

 

Nope sorry.
Always remember, "Sharing is caring".

Now why wouldn't you want to share your shiny new MacBook?
We're all one big family! No secrets here!


But....
You could open "System Preferences" (Macintosh HD>Applications).
Click on the "Accounts pane.
Click on "Login options" (click the lock if necessary)
De-select the checkbox "Automatically login as:"

 

Didn't I just say that?

 

Normally when you setup your Mac for the first time, you will be asked to create an account with a password.
But as it is default to "automatically login", the Mac boots,and your workspace is loaded.

To get a login window to force the user to enter a name and password:
- Goto the System Preferences (goto blue Apple menu, select "Syetem Preferences..."
- Click on "Accounts"
- Click the lock to make changes (your password will be asked)
- Click on "Login Options"
- Disable "Automatically log in as:"
- <optional> Change the way the login window appears.

To make it obligatory to type a password after waking from sleep or screensaver:
- Goto the System Preferences (goto blue Apple menu, select "Syetem Preferences..."
- Click on "Security"
- Enable "Require password to make this computer...(etc)"

EDIT: I am a bit late... you lot are fast too!
