Did you try "no password"? <grin> The only way? I know to see "all users" is to boot into Safe Mode. That always "added" the actual ADMINISTRATOR of the computer. (And as many User-Admins that would fit on the plain-VGA screen.) (I think the actual Admin "account name" can be switched BTW.) Good luck. Sorry to post my related question, next...
