2. Click on Users > Create a picture password.
3. Before proceeding further it will ask for your system password. Now click on Choose picture that you want to use for your password.
4. It will ask for the gesture that you want to keep as your login password
Note: When creating these gestures, you can make circles, straight lines, or tap in the picture. Please note that when you use these picture passwords the order in which you make the gesture and their direction matters.
5. When you are done creating your three gestures, Windows 8 will then prompt you to confirm all three gestures again to make sure you remember it.
That´s it. You can then click the Finish button to get out of this setup wizard.
