I wanted to set a master password for my MacBook, which would prompt for a password when waking my computer up and for changing important features.
I set one but than decided I wanted to change the password and went to System Preferences to do so. What's weird though, is once I went through the part of putting my old password (I will call X) in and then my new password (I will call Y) twice, I hit OK. But my password never changed. I still use X to wake up my computer, etc. So then I went to change it again, and it prompts me to put in my password to make this change and X works. But then when I get to the part to change it, I put in X as my old password and Y as the new one again, but it won't let me change it. It says the old password is wrong. So then I put in Y as the old password, and it lets me change it. But then testing it out, X is the only password that works.
Am I insane or is something wrong? I guess it wouldn't be the first time for either.
