[QUOTE="McYukon, post: 1041641, member: 101117"] The admin password and the login password for the admin account are the same passwords, so basically it is one and the same password, some people just like to call it different. So no, the login password cannot be something different from the admin password because it is one and the same password. You can change the keychain password to be something different from the login password if you want, [URL="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh463.html"]Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing your keychain password[/URL] What will happen though, keychain will ask you for its new password every time when logging in or using applications that have data stored in there. What you can do is this, Don't tell him the admin password, that way he can't do anything that needs admin authorization because he doesn't know the correct password. [/QUOTE]
