How to Temporarily Lock your PC WhenSomeone Enter Wrong Password in Windows 7

Adding a strong password to your PC is the best way to ensure that unauthorized users can access it.However, if someone can gain access to your PC while you are not there, there is a chance that theycould try to guess the password. To slow them down a bit you can have Windows temporarily lock whenan incorrect password is entered. This will limit the number of times they can try out a password beforeyou return to the PC.

What well do is use Windows security settings to temporarily lock out the account for 30 minuteswhenever the wrong password is entered 3 times. This will prevent them from being able to repeatedlyguess your password, or at least make it take a lot longer.

Important Note: - This setting can also let somebody prank you by incorrectly entering the password 3times and lock you out for 30 minutes. It would be wise to have another administrator account that canunlock the regular account. Either way, use caution with this setting.To enable this feature through Local Security Policy, Proceed as Follows: -

Please Note: - Local Security Policy is only available on Business, Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimateversions of Windows 7 and Vista. If youre using Starter, Home Basic, or Home Premium, youll need touse the Command Prompt method listed below.

something like the settings below, depending on what you chose.

Now youre all set. Your account will automatica lly prevent people from logging in if the password isentered incorrectly too many times. If you ever want to change or remove the settings, just repeat thesteps with the new options you want.

While this may not make your computer fully secure, it does help keep people from casually snoopingon your computer while its running. This will make it much harder for someone to guess your password,since theyll be blocked out after entering it incorrectly several times.

Dont forget that you can quickly lock your computer by pressing Win+L on your keyboard, which is agood idea if you want to keep your data safe when youre away from your desk.
