    I went looking but obviously I am lost. With my niece and nephew moving in with me (along with their mom) I want to keep the Mac locked up. So I would prefer a solution that requires a password at power up as well as locking the screen after non use.

    Is this simple? I have no "accounts" other than default

    It's nice to know the mac community is always out there willing to help and not make fun of someone because of their question!

    Cheers!
