[QUOTE="MacShane, post: 1579317, member: 159792"] Hmmm...wasn't aware that I was logging in as root or that I deliberately did so. I just set up myself as admin on my MBP and that's the only account I've ever used. I was using a pretty strong password before and use an even stronger one now. I'd appreciate any further insight on how I should go about logging in more safely. I keep screen sharing enabled because I frequently share screens between my iMac at home and the MBP. I wasn't doing that at the time this happened, though I was connected to my iMac via my MBP over the network and was accessing the very hard disk that got erased. I'll go ahead and turn off screen share, since I am halfway around the world from my other computers right now. Again, any further suggestions and details are welcome... [/QUOTE]
