All you have to do now, is Google your way into finding out how you can recover their passwords. > Thanks for the quick response, I am on standby. > >> >>> >>> > ************************************************************************ >>> Lule George William (Mr) >>> Network and Systems Administrator >>> Uganda Martyrs University, Nkozi >>> P.O.
