Will it ask for password? I need to make sure there is no possible way of me getting in without the password?

Both Windows 10 and Mac have a hosts file you can use to disable websites. With this trick you can redirect all traffic from that domain to your local machine, causing them to simply stop loading. Here’s how to do it in Windows 10:
- Open File Explorer by clicking the folder icon in your taskbar. Click the bar to the left of Search and paste in:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc - Double click the
hostsfile and open it using Notepad or some other text editor. Create a new line at the bottom of the file by tapping Enter. - On the new line, paste in the IP
127.0.0.1and then type the URL of the domain you want to block. For instance if you want to hide Facebook, the line will look like this:127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com - To block more sites, create a new line for each, and follow the step above again. Make sure to save your changes and close the file.

2022-06-21T09:48:54+00:00 OpenDNS doesn't ask for a password. See their simple setup instructions. Just enter your router's administration utility (which should always be password-protected) and add the OpenDNS IP addresses.

Unfortunately, either or both of those pages are not working at the moment, so I'll illustrate with my own router. This will be quick and easy if you setup your network through your router's configuration utility, which is the way it should be done.
1- Sign in to your router's configuration utility with your router's username and password:
2- Look for the section where you choose your DNS servers:
3- Enter the OpenDNS server settings:
4- Don't forget to save your settings, then you can log out of the router's configuration utility.
