[QUOTE="technologist, post: 996950, member: 4134"] I'm not sure exactly what [b]pjaykelly[/b] is talking about, since there is no way to "bypass" the password security of the Mac. Unless you have a user account and password, you cannot even log into the Mac, and one user cannot access another's files. [B]Doug b[/B]'s suggestion makes even less sense. Since the "hidden" folder is again protected by your user account, it cannot be accessed by other users even if it could be seen. You [I]are[/I] both using separate accounts, right? Because it makes no sense whatsoever to give the password to your main account to someone you don't trust. That would be like giving the keys to your brand-new car to a stranger and then worrying about the coins you left in the console. [/QUOTE]
