If you really want to, you can set a password for your iTunes library. All you have to do is go to:

- Preferences > Sharing

- Check the “Require password” option at the bottom of the window.

- Set the password.

Now click OK and make sure that you won’t forget the password you just set. You might want to write it down somewhere safe just in case.

Seriously though, who does this?

My daughter, on the outward flight at the start of a 2-week holiday … except she missed one of the steps.

“The first and fourth digits were 4 and 8 … I think”. 100 tries later, even this faint hope was dashed.

The only content-safe way I could find for resetting the password requires reconnecting to iTunes on the original host computer. Oh well.
