Setting up user accounts on your HP laptop can be a great way to allow multiple people to use the same computer. Each person can have their own password-protected account so that their information is kept private and doesn't affect the way anyone else uses the same computer. Just as adding a password to an HP laptop is easy, removing one is also a simple process. Removing a password will allow anyone to have access to all the information on that computer at any time.
