The issue is that I have managed to lose my password. I can probably (I hope) use a recovery boot to clear he password, and in worst-case, I can do a full re-install and time machine backup. I want to avoid that if possible. If nothing else, being able to set my password to something known is sufficient. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
