It’s a good idea to change your password regularly. If someone cracks your login credentials, you can always trip them up by changing it the next day or week and stop some potentially harmful damage.
It’s very easy to change your Windows password. All you need to do is press Ctrl+Alt+Del, which brings you to a menu. All you have to do is choose the option to change your password.
There, you’ll be asked to put your current password in, along with a new one. Make sure it’s something easy to remember, but hard to guess.
