Is there a way to have to enter two passwords to login to your computer account?
Answer
Answer
Do you mean

a) That you can use either one or the other password? If so then you need to use two logon accounts, each with its own password.

b) That you must enter one, then a second password? If so then this will work:
  1. Press the Windows key + R.
  2. Type the letters    syskey
  3. Press Enter.
  4. Follow the prompts.
Note that having two passwords doubles the risk of you forgetting one and getting permanently locked out of Windows. It happens all the time . . .

You can add a BIOS password (this is separate from Windows)

BIOS - How to Enter the BIOS and add a Password

Every computer is different, when you first turn on the computer it should tell you what button to push to enter the BIOS. It's usually one of the following and you must push it within the first 5 seconds:

F1  F2  F10  F12 ESC  DEL

Once in the BIOS you have to find the menu with the option to add a password, again
every computer is different.
