A password is essential protection to prevent a device or any precious thing from any harm. A password is a security check that may authorize a product. If the person provides correct input for the password, the person becomes eligible and authorized to get the product. For example, if Sheero has a special room in which only he wants to enter. To do so, he makes the room password protected by setting a pin so that no one else cannot enter the room. Thus, when anyone wants to enter the room, the person needs to enter the correct pin that was set by Sheero. If the person provides the correct pin, the person can enter into the room. But if the password was found incorrect, Sheero will come to know that someone tried to enter the room but was unsuccessful. However, Sheero may change the password because he understood that the stranger might hint for the password. Similarly, most of us keep our mobile phones, laptops, and other devices password protected to safeguard them from unauthorized access. But, if someone does not know how to change the password, then the person cannot change it.
