[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1653497, member: 83420"] @caspoor I've tried to reproduce what did. As others have said, only a few of the System Preferences can be locked. In each case, on my iMac anyway (running Mavericks), the padlock was "locked" by default as I think it should be, thus requiring the admin PW to unlock. From what you report, your padlock was "open". You then locked it. When I unlocked mine (admin PW), then locked it again, it only required my admin PW to unlock—as stated by others. So I can't quite follow (1) why your app padlocks were open, apparently by default and (2) why your admin PW doesn't open them. Could it be that you are not the admin user? Anybody else use the Mac? Is it possible that you messed about with your PWs after locking? For the more experienced Forum members, are we nearing the stage of initiating the "Reset PW" option? Ian [/QUOTE]
