I think there's an option to change the software password as well.

If memory serves, it's a hardware password though.

There is a Change Password utility on the distribution disk that
allows you to set a new password. Boot the disk and get Voiceover
running and then check the Menu bar.

yes, but it will also ask you for your password before you can

it. I know there is a way to recover from this issue but cannot

what it is. Every method I know of requires a password to do
anything with
the password.

Another way to change a password for an account is to go to the
terminal and run the passwd command. Type "passwd" and return.

interesting, try leaving it bland for now?
If you want to set up a password for your system, go to accounts
under
system preferences. if you cannot get past the updates password
though, you
won't be able to do anything in accounts because it will want you to
unlock
and use a password to do that.

I recently received a prompt indicating that software updates were
available. When I attempted to install the updates I was prompted
for a
password. I have never established a password. The username was
filled out
as user. Do I need a password? How do I now establish one?
thanks much for your help.
