It depends on your os. if it is a windows based pc (xp,vista ect.), try start button> control panel> user accounts> from there you should be able to change your security settings. but don’t forget your password.

Just follow the steps to get the things done

1. Restart you computer.
2. Hold down the Del (Delete) key.
3. In the system information, go to the change password section. (Navigate through the system info using the arrows keys).
4. Write the password, exit the section, go to exit system info, and a dialog box appears asking you if you want to save the changes. Press the y key and enter.
5. All done!
