For one year my admin account has een working flawlessly. I have 3 other accounts, one of which also has admin privileges.

One day my main account has stopped accepting my password. I have to run it password-less, which is not secure.
I have already done the following:
- restore password from the CD
- re-install the system (10.2)
- change the password

nothing works.

Where is that information stored? Is there a file I can trash to be able to re-create a new password setup that works?

thanx - Greg

Is it only your account that is having the problem?
