When we set power-on password/user password, we should know what type the user account is, because Windows 7 has basically three user accounts types, Administrator, Standard user and Guest.
1. Administrator
Administrators have complete access to the computer and can make any desired changes. Based on notification settings, administrators may be asked to provide their password or confirmation before making changes that affect other users.
2. Standard user
Standard user accounts can use most software and change system settings that do not affect other users or the security of the computer.
At most of time, we run the computer with Standard user. The reasons are the followings. The standard account can help protect your computer by preventing users from making changes that affect everyone who uses the computer, such as deleting files that are required for the computer to work. We recommend creating a standard account for each user.
When you are logged on to Windows with a standard account, you can do almost anything that you can do with an administrator account, but if you want to do something that affects other users of the computer, such as installing software or changing security settings, Windows might ask you to provide a password for an administrator account.
3. Guest
Use computer limitedly and temporarily.
It allows users to login to web, browse Internet and shut down the computer. Therefore, we should make it forbidden when we don't use it in purpose of security.
