Hi!
How can I check the account pain and change the password from there ? BTW,
I'm still new to the world of Mac and VoiceOver -- however, I'm enjoying
this new world so much ..
Best
Khalid

Ah, the problem of the automatic login. You could boot with the Leopard
disk and reset his password, but that will probably lock him out of all his
keychains. Check the accounts pane, and see if you can change his password
there.
Also, it is well advised for security reasons, to not use the
Administrator login created at system startup for day to day activities. It
adds a additional layer of security if any trojan horse or other malware
needs to skip to a administrative login in order to get full access to the
machine's root / full access.

Hi All!
I'm trying to update my friend MacBook Pro from v 105.5 to 10.5.8. I
pressed VO-M, then I chose the software update. It says there are 9
updates. I tried several times to install the updates, or some of the
updates, but each time the updater ask me for a username and password. I
asked my friend, and he told me he doesn't have any password in his
machine. I wonder, what I should do? How can I pass this password thing? I
should note though that when I press OK and leave the password field empty,
the updater doesn't accept this, and will say either the username or
password is wrong.
TIA
