[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1756771, member: 204485"] You did not mention it but it sounds like; you turned it on and logged in with an Admin Password. You do not mention setup at all. When turning on a new or second hand Mac you should be presented with the Setup Wizard window. This guides you through the process of setting up Language, Users & Passwords, Time Zone, creating an Apple ID, a WiFi network, email account, ect, ect. If you did not get that at initial startup then the previous owner did not properly prepare the device for sale. Instructions for which are freely available on the web. Ignoring this process can cause all sorts of problems for you and the previous owner. [/QUOTE]
