Remote controlling computer

Hey i want to be able to control a computer by using another computer. specifically i want a computer to send a redstone signal when i enter something into another computer. I also want the system to be safe (password protected) so other people can't send signals from the computer that has redstone hooked up to it. so 1 computer has redstone hooked up to it, and the other computer or possible computers just have to be withing modem length of it. anyone know how i could set this up? :)/>

Use Rednet with
rednet.open("SIDE")
rednet.receive("time in secounds to wait for a message")
i think its better then to use redstone
you can send messages to the receive Pc and you define in the receive Pc which message will do what you want
i hope i could help

He kind of did.

You will want to use rednet here is a small example:

--sending computer
rednet.open("SIDE")

rednet.send(ID, "some message")

--receiving computer
local id, msg = rednet.receive()
if msg == "some message" then
  rs.setOutput("SIDE", true)
end

As far as the password protection, browse the tutorials and the programs section of the forums. There are plenty of examples to get you started.

He's talking about the ComputerCraft in-game computers, not real-life computers.

then may be it won't work ..

No, it's certainly quite possible. There are many programs on the forums which do what the OP is asking.
