Hi @Pertti1,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

I hear you want to set up a password to protect your HP Pavilion 14-bf081no laptop, and that’s a smart move to keep your data safe. Let me walk you through it with care and clarity.
 

🔐 How to Set a Password to Open Your HP Laptop (Windows 11)

Option 1: Set a Local Account Password

If you're using a local account (not a Microsoft account):

  1. Click StartSettingsAccountsSign-in options.
  2. Under Password, click Add.
  3. Enter your new password and a hint.
  4. Click Finish.


Option 2: Set a Microsoft Account Password

If you're signed in with a Microsoft account:

  • Your password is already set via your Microsoft account.
  • You can change it at account.microsoft.com.


Bonus: Add a PIN or Biometric Login

For faster access:

  • Go to SettingsAccountsSign-in options.
  • Choose PIN (Windows Hello) or Fingerprint if your laptop supports it.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have an amazing day!
