[QUOTE="roy batty, post: 1167847, member: 182781"] Hi all, I have a 21.5" iMac; purchased last fall. I'm not sure if I have admin privileges, though. So I have two questions: 1) How can I check to make sure I have full admin privileges? 2) If I do not, can I reset a password somewhere (don't remember the old one) to obtain full privileges? I still have the startup disk that came with the computer. I read somewhere that I can boot the computer with the startup disk to reset the admin password. But if I do this, do I lose any software/data that I already have on the iMac? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
