[QUOTE="kattphud, post: 406556, member: 32079"] Ever since the latest security update from Apple, I'm having the opposite problem that most people seem to have: I know exactly what my administrator password is, but now it's asking me for an administrator username, and I don't have the foggiest idea of what it could be. I entered my account name and my short name, but didn't like that. I've even tried "idiot's luggage" things like "admin" and "root", but to no avail. How do I figure out what the administrator's username is? [/QUOTE]
