Hi all,
I've just recently decided to dump the old PC and switch to a nice new shiny 27" Imac, Well what can i say But WOW ! should of switched years ago. But, I have rather a worrying problem at the moment. We have four login profiles, 2 children, 2 parents. My password is set as administrator to stop anything being added etc. However, tried to login today but my admin password is being rejected, I'm unable to login to my profile with my password ( using sons login at the moment) it's as if it has been changed.
I,m not a computer wizkid but I'm aware that apples are quite hardy against virusis/trojans etc I'm just worried that some form of keylogger may be lurking someware as I've also had a problem with logging into Itunes(also password related) As far as I'm aware no undesirable websites have been visited and the only extra application installed is Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac. Up until now Imac has been absolutly faultless.
Was thinking of carrying out a clean install of snowleopard but admin password is required. Can anyone please advise me on what else to do/look for.
Thanks
