[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 878943, member: 8287"] On your Wife's account, if you open System Preferences, Accounts, click on the locked padlock at the bottom left. It will want her username and password and should unlock. Then you would be able to make your account an Admin one again. I just tried it here as I have a limited account on my system for testing purposes and it worked. With that Padlock locked, all the other accounts will be grayed out. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
