[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1695219"] Changing the name or extension of a file doesn't actually change the file's format; it remains whatever it was (ie if you rename photo.jpg to photo.gif, it's still a JPG -- only now it won't open right). That could be where they ran into trouble. As for the "Finder password," there's no such thing -- it's asking for the administrative password, which is the password used to log in to the computer. If it is asking for that, the person is probably about to do something they shouldn't, like throw away a system component or make changes that are normally not allowed. [/QUOTE]
