Resource summary

Data security
  1. Usernames and passwords
    1. Usernames help to define the user for the network
      1. It's usually fixed by the person in charge of the system, either called the system administrator or the network manager
      2. A password is a sequence of characters (text, numbers and other characters on the keyboard such as # or %) that the user needs to type into the computer after their username in order to gain access to the network
        1. Users are usually able to change their password regularly: this helps to keep it a secret
        2. It is vital that the password is kept secret.
          1. Someone who knows another person's username and password can use them to log onto the computer, change the password and then prevent the user from gaining access to their own files.
