[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1695244"] OS X requires at least ONE admin account, to set up all the others. And it must have a password. So, someone on that system has an admin account and the password. Any admin password will suffice to make the changes, but most people use the admin password for THEIR account, assuming their account is an admin account. But the password is there for the protection of the user, as chas_m, vansmith and pigoo3 have all indicated. If you can tell us what files these folks are trying to change format, we may be able to help them with the conversion. As said before, change the name does NOT change the format. [/QUOTE]
