Re: IMAC PASSWORD

[Julie Bedford]

Hi Philippe

Many thanks for the instructions.  I’ll do this later, as a heap of work to get 
through at the moment.

You make it sound very straight forward - just what I need.

Thanks again
Julie

 Hi All,
 
 Hope someone can help me.  I was using El Capitan on my work Imac.  When a 
 friend set this up for me he left the Password blank, so when I logged on, 
  I would just leave it blank and hit on the Owl to open.  Today I upgraded 
 the O/S to Mojave and it will not accept a blank password.  Any 
 suggestions on what I can do please.
 
 In desperation

Hi Julie, 

If you click on the Apple Logo on the top left hand corner, then navigate to:

-  System Preferences
-  Users & Groups
-  Under ‘Current User’ column ensure your Name (Admin) is highlighted
-  On right hand column choose Password when you will see next to your name a 
‘Change Password …’ button. Click on it.
-   A window will appear showing:  Old Password (leave blank), New password: 
Enter your password there, Verify: Enter the same password, Password hint: 
Enter something that will remind you of the password e.g. name of your first 
dog or whatever is relevant to the chosen password. 

This should do the trick. 

Good luck & best regards, 

Philippe Chaperon

Hi Ronni,
I know what you are saying, but when my friend was setting the network etc up 
for me, I wasn’t around so he just left it blank.  I work from home, so other 
than someone breaking in, I wasn’t too worried.  However, I would like to put a 
password in,  How do I do this?  I would need to change from the blank to a 
password.

Thanks Ronni

Hi Julie,

I’m amazed that you don’t use a Password on your Administrator Account on your 
Work iMac? 
Anyone gets hold of your iMac they can access everything on your computer...

Kind Regards,

Re: IMAC PASSWORD

Hi All,

I sussed it, simply by shutting down and re-starting.  I’m gobsmacked that 
Mojave has retained all my bookmarks, mail and all folders/documents as they 
were in El Capitan.  I’m hoping that saying all is good and working how it 
should ?

Cheers

IMAC PASSWORD

[Julie Bedford]

Hi All,

Hope someone can help me.  I was using El Capitan on my work Imac.  When a 
friend set this up for me he left the Password blank, so when I logged on,  I 
would just leave it blank and hit on the Owl to open.  Today I upgraded the O/S 
to Mojave and it will not accept a blank password.  Any suggestions on what I 
can do please.
