Expert Answer

You can either write your passwords down in a notebook and store the notebook someplace safe, or you can use a password manager. With a password manager, you'll just need to remember one master password.

How do I put a laptop in safe mood?

Community Answer

It depends on what system it is -- you have to have multiple options from f8 to Del button to booting into it. Other than that, if it is in reference to security, make sure you add a password or check fingerprint options on the computer system.
