[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1739175, member: 42497"] Whenever buying a used computer, do a format and erase of the hard drive and a cleaninstall of the operating system using your own passwords etc. Make sure you have a copy of the latest/chosen operating system downloaded from the App Store and burnt onto a bootable USB thumb drive. Using someone else's passwords etc is like riding a camel at high speed ~ very difficult to stay seated! [/QUOTE]
