[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1255889, member: 46727"] It sounds like the account name you tried to add when the machine froze is keeping you from adding it again. It may have somehow got into the system even though the machine froze. You state that this MacBook is new? Is it new from Apple or is it just new to you as in buying it used? A brand new MacBook should not freeze up when adding an account. If the account name you're trying to add is not showing up under accounts from System Preferences, you can try searching for it using Spotlight. But I hesitate to suggest deleting anything for fear of deleting the wrong account and locking yourself out of the machine. [/QUOTE]
