Thanks. that's what I wanted to know. As usually when you are asked to at least on the mac side supply your admin credentials, you supply the full name of your account for example john d smith and your password what ever that might be. rather then maybe for example myaccountusernameisjohn and the password. Those are very bad examples but that's what happens when Im just waking up. lol!
I've been trying to google for all of this with no success. it's as though people are trying to hide that info from you rather then just saying, enter the name of your ~ directory then your admin password lol! Sorry if I sound frustrated but Iv'e been having bad luck in this front for several weeks now. Tae care and have a happy wednesday.
