Login to the window manager using the login name 'root' and then your root pw as the pw. Then you can call up Mandrake control center and set up user accounts there or you can also do it in the terminal if you wish. On Tue, 2002-10-15 at 03:57, Joe Harkins wrote: > I'm running Mandrake8.2 and us

[newbie] an unexpected icon and a forgotten password

2002-10-14 Thread Joe Harkins
I'm running Mandrake8.2 and using KDE. At the bottom of my screen I noticed an icon has apeared in the form of a small lock. When I clicked on it the screen went black and a prompt appeared that wanted my user password. Since I don't recall what the user pw is (and don't get to see it on boot)
