[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1840985, member: 46727"] If you are the only user of your computer and you live alone, and it's an iMac, my suggestion is to remove the log on password entirely. The only time you would then need to use the admin password is when making changes to the system or installing new software. If you are agreeable with doing that, let us know and we will show you how to remove the log on password. As for the computer turning itself off after a few minutes, that may be the sign of hardware problems. Very difficult to diagnose something like that without sitting in front of your iMac. Your iMac is 10 years old so there could be several things that are causing the turning off. [/QUOTE]
