[QUOTE="djames42, post: 522966, member: 13241"] That's curious -- you can't remove administrator rights from the currently logged in account; at least not via system preferences. There's possibly something you could do with the netinfo tool, and you can certainly double-check for administrator access with it... Go into your Utilities folder and run the Netinfo Manager. From there, click on groups in the left pane, then click on admin. Below, the first property should be users. In there you should see root, as well as any user accounts you have created. If root is the only user available in there, then you may be in trouble. I know you can reset the Administrator password by booting off the installer DVD, but I'm not sure if you can modify account permissions. Let us know how you make out! [/QUOTE]
