Had done that earlier nbuit went back again. I did not see a 2nd Utilities menu but when I opened the OS X Utilities and clicked the Shoiw All option, I saw a 2nd one. And there it is!

But braim fried so will give it a rest for a day. Will let you know when I get that darn password reset.

    Try doing a VO-m when the recovery HD comes up.  There should be a

Hi John,
   Its not my day. When I boot into recovery, the OS X Utility menu comes up. I 
see no Terminzl option there. Am I in the right menu?

    Yes, it's accessible.  You have to boot into your Recovery HD by holding 
down command-r during startup.  Then, start VoiceOver after about 30 seconds 
with command-F5.
 From the Utility menu, you will find an option for, Terminal.  VO-space on 
that and type,
resetpassword
and hit enter.
This will put you into an interface that will allow you to reset your account 
password.  It's important to note that once you do this and restart the 
computer, you will be asked if you want to sync your keychain password to your 
account password.  Be sure to do this.

Hi John,
   I know I am going to have to do this before I can really move forward. Is 
the reset process accessible with Voiceover? I found some info on how to do 
this but not when using Voiceover.

    No, but you won't be able to unlock preferences or install apps without 
knowing the password for your account.  You can reset it, but it's a pain in

   I will remember that one once I get past an issue that stumps me.

   I put Dropbox on the Mac. Now when I want to access it, I am asked for the 
computer password. Is that the same as the login password? I never entered that 
as far as I can recall. I am really lost and am gonna take a break from it. LOL

   Need a bit of help. Running Mountain Lion on Macbook. I cannot seem to grasp 
what VO commands to use to move between, say the sidebar and view browser in a 
Finder window. Been a Windows user for too many years. Thanks for any 
assistance here.
