Go to control panel, click user accounts. Click “change an account, select the account you want the password on, then click “create a password”. Try to make your password long, but memorable. The following Microsoft website has tips on passwords: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/privacy/password.mspx
I hope this has helped.

Universally, going into the Control Panel or Settings page, then choose your User account then set a password. Secure passwords would have letters, numbers and maybe symbols.
