Hi all,
Last weekend, we bought my wife a new Mac Book Air. I set it all up and it has
been working fine. Today my task was to transfer her email from her old
Windows machine. I used the Migration Assistant and it seemed to work fine.
However, it has created a new user on the Air with a
What comes to mind is did you unlock the system preferences for the users
and groups. You will probably need to do this to view the other accounts.
As for the mailboxes, there is an import mailbox item in the file menu of
mail. I don't know if this would work or not, though, as I
I have managed to find the list of users now and reset the password. Strangely
enough, the password still does not work. It is the stingiest thing…I reset
the password, try to log in as that user and I absolutely cannot. Anybody
experienced this before?
Thx,
Jeff

You might have to change that account password using the recovery partition
then. I had this recently happen on a Mac I migrated settings from a time
machine backup. I had to change her password through the resetpassword option
in the recovery partition.

Thanks for the tip. I don't see anything about resetting use passwords when I
hold [command] r after rebooting the computer. Could you direct me further
please?

Sorry about that. YOu have to use the termianal menu item from the untility
menu. Then, you type, resetpassword That will get you into the area to choose
the account and reset the password.

Thanks for that. Again, no avail. I just don't get it. I try to switch to
the new user, I select the other user and a dialogue pops up asking me for a
password. I enter the password and it just expects me to keep trying. So
frustrating!

This is very odd. Like I said, I reset the password in the terminal for
my friend and it worked after that. This might be worth a call to apple
accessibility or Apple care. Unless someone else can come up with a
suggestion, I am scratching my head here.

Anyway, I hope you can resolve it soon.
