[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1944699, member: 396914"] You have to have the old password to change it, so if you don't know the correct password, there isn't much you can do, really. The password it is asking for is probably an ADMIN password, which could be your own login password if you are an Admin on your machine. (Most users are as that is the default, but some folks create their account as NOT an admin so that they cannot accidentlally do something they might regret later.) Do you have automatic login enabled? That is, do you have to enter a password when you power the machine up, or does it just roll to the desktop? [/QUOTE]
