Hi Listers,
I have a PB G3/400 running OS X 10.4.2 (used 99% of the time) and a
B&W G3/400 running OS X 10.3.9. I would like to move some things off
the B&W and onto the PB among other things. I wrote my file sharing
names and passwords down on an index card which I keep handy but when
I try to log in as a "Registered User" on either machine, it tells me
I have the name and/or password incorrect. So I end up having to log
in as "Guest". Is there some way to reset this information? Would
this be the same as resetting the Administrator password using the
install CD or is it hidden somewhere else? I can't figure out what
happened. Probably something simple but ...? Any help would be
greatly appreciated. No one but me uses either machine. TIA for any
suggestions. If it helps, this seems to have started when I upgraded
the PB to 10.4. I put the same password on both machines that I've
had since 10.0.

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.
You can also (from the command line in terminal) do:
sudo passwd <username>
That works without a reboot.
