Hi to all,
I will say thanks in advance for the help.
I just installed on friday, 5.3 of Lin-mandrake.
I then wanted to add a new user.
while trying to do this, i tried to stop, but some how it took
the new user but I don't know the password.
How can I delete the user and start over?
Give me the path to the user's and how to remove or delete,
please.
Thanks,
Will
