Step 2 On the Settings tab, type the user name into the Name field.

consist of a combination of letters and numbers rather than names of family, friends, or pets.
Step 4 Confirm the password by retyping it in the Confirm Password field.

passwords the first time they login.
Step 6 Optionally enter a comment in the Comment field.
