I agree with you that you decide to share this simple steps but this is very important especially to laptop users or even PC owners, some people using laptop is not aware of making a password or any other security codes because of confident in ownership, they own it and they think its safe but the value and importance of passwords will be noticed when they lost their laptops and it contains important details or videos.

Nice and easy guide, but does it works like this on all operating systems? With my Windows 10, step 4 says Password somewhere, along with a Change button. And for a Mac it could be completely different.

What I'm getting at, is that you should let us know for which operating system you are giving a guide.
