The easiest way to do it is to login as administrator, open the Accounts preference pane and then set a new password for the user you're trying to log into. If that user is also the admin, then you will have to reboot both Macs with the system install CD and reset the admin password from the installer. -Laurent. -- ======================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************ Usual disclaimers apply *********************** -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
