Password Needed
I inherited a computer running Windows 8. When I power up the machine, it asks for a password. I don't have that password. What can I do to use the machine?

RE: Re: Errors on Boot-Up (SOLVED)
Dear Mr. Stevens: Thanks for your reply. I installed two WD 1TB Hard Drives when I put my new computer together. I am having difficulty getting Fedora to recognize and access both of them. (See emails "Two HDs"). Both of these HDs are new. I removed the second HD and those errors no longer occur on boot-up. This tells me that the second HD is the cause of the errors.

Errors on Boot-Up
Dear Helpers: When I do manage to boot up my Fedora System, I get these remarks on the screen: [ 11.034216] ata5: COMRESET Failed (errno =-16) [ 21.050448] ata5: COMRESET Failed (errno =-16) [ 68.199577] ata5: COMRESET Failed (errno =-16) [ 78.235808] ata5: COMRESET Failed (errno =-16) [ 117.824319] ata5: COMRESET Failed (errno =-16) [ 127.860509] ata5: COMRESET Failed (errno =-16) [ 161.385877] ata5: COMRESET Failed (errno =-16) [ 171.422106] ata5: COMRESET Failed (errno =-16) After that, the system goes ahead and boots. The next time, I get the same number of errors, but the numbers are different. Do I need to fix this? How?

Two HDs
Dear Helpers: I have installed two 1 TB Hard Drives in my new system. Only one of the two is recognized by Fedora. They are WD1002FAEX drives. When I asked Western Digital for assistance, their "help" wasn't much help. They reported this difficulty was the result of a "Signature Collision". Then,. they gave me instructions on how to clear the error in Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. None of those is going to work under Fedora. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Can't Load Fedora 15
My computer died, so I have to make a new one. The thing comes up nicely, but when I try to load the Fedora 15 I've been using, it won't go. I keep getting this screen which demands that I select a driver. What driver? Where do I find the blasted thing? Isn't there a driver on the Fedora 15 DVD? I hope someone can help.

When you log in again as username, the file should be recreated. This has been reported on Ubuntu and several other distros and whatever caused it may have crept into Fedora somehow.
