Hi, The mountain scene is the High Sierra Desktop background/wall paper, so, yes, you're on the Desktop of the Mac. Regarding the requirement of entering your password upon restart, that can be changed, but I highly discourage that. It is a minor inconvenience that allows for a small layer of security. For example, if your house was unlawfully entered and your Mac was stolen, having no password at all upon starting your Mac makes it very simple for the culprit to gain access to all sorts of your personal information that is stored on the Mac. Just that one password makes it a problem. For real good security, there are many more steps you could take, but this little one is the foundation and is a good start.
I'll get off the soap-box now. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Dec 3, 2017, at 13:07, andy <[email protected]> wrote: Hi again John. I got my wife to view the Image and she advises that the whole screen has a mounting scene on it, like a windows desk-top background image. Voice over still announced the description I mentioned in my previous message. I did a VO left arrow and it went away, and so did my wife to her bed unfortunately, so no more help from her this evening She did say that it was asking me for a password as well. It seems that both my Imac and Mackbook Pro desire me to sign in every time I restart the computers, which is a pain. I'll have another go tomorrow to see if I can get any more information. Thanks for your assistance. Very best wishes.
