Here is where I am now. I found Terminal and did the password reset.
There was something else about ACLs I probably should have left alone.
Now when the Mac boots, my user account name is on the screen and
sits there.I cannot go any further.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but
rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries
in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and
screaming "WOO HOO - what a ride!"

don't even have a Mountain Lion recovery disk I can look at either at this

Try doing a VO-m when the recovery HD comes up. There should be a

Hi John,
Its not my day. When I boot into recovery, the OS X Utility menu comes up. I

Yes, it's accessible. You have to boot into your Recovery HD by holding
down command-r during startup. Then, start VoiceOver after about 30 seconds
with command-F5.
From the Utility menu, you will find an option for, Terminal. VO-space on
that and type,
resetpassword
and hit enter.
This will put you into an interface that will allow you to reset your account
password. It's important to note that once you do this and restart the
computer, you will be asked if you want to sync your keychain password to your
account password. Be sure to do this.

Hi John,
I know I am going to have to do this before I can really move forward. Is
the reset process accessible with Voiceover? I found some info on how to do
this but not when using Voiceover.

No, but you won't be able to unlock preferences or install apps without

I will remember that one once I get past an issue that stumps me.
I put Dropbox on the Mac. Now when I want to access it, I am asked for the
computer password. Is that the same as the login password? I never entered that
as far as I can recall. I am really lost and am gonna take a break from it. LOL
