Default Re: password


Mike,
A quick question on this if I can. This is the way I have my system
set up, using the WELCOME option, which does not require a password.
However, when I first installed the system, I did assign a password
(pretty sure) to the Administrator account that was built on Original
Administrator Account that first comes up.
If I "uncheck" the Welcome option, it should go back to that account,
is that correct? The only reason I hesitate is that while quite sure
the password I wrote down is that correct one, I don't want to leave
myself without an option to get back to the Welcome account, which does
not have a password assigned....
