[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1258117, member: 24160"] All it takes is an OS X disc to reset the password. I would suggest you immediately change all passwords to all accounts. As to knowing 'when' the trash was emptied - don't know, there may be in the logs somewhere, I've never gone looking for it - although, I don't see how that knowledge is going to serve any useful purpose. If you do not have a backup of the system prior to it's being stolen and you're wanting to see if you can retrieve any of your deleted data, you'll need to grab a data recovery application such as [URL="http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php"]Data Rescue 3[/URL].
