Jeff,
I don't know if this will help or not. I have only been using a Mac since
April. Suddenly, in the middle of July I could not enter passwords however
many times I tried. At the Genius Bar the technician could, like me, hear
the clicks that indicated that I was typing characters but we could nnot
enter them unless he clicked the mouse. He suggested that I should
re-install Lion but in the end I waited and upgraded to ML. So far I have
not had any problems but I still do not always get a click sound when I
enter a character. I just wonder if you are getting the same problem I had
last month.
Anyway, I hope you can resolve it soon.
Chris

This is very odd. Like I said, I reset the password in the terminal
for my friend and it worked after that. This might be worth a call to apple
accessibility or Apple care. Unless someone else can come up with a
suggestion, I am scratching my head here.

Thanks for that. Again, no avail. I just don't get it. I try to switch
to the new user, I select the other user and a dialogue pops up asking me
for a password. I enter the password and it just expects me to keep
trying. So frustrating!!!!!
Thx,
Jeff

Sorry about that. YOu have to use the termianal menu item from the
untility menu. Then, you type, resetpassword That will get you into the
area to choose the account and reset the password.

Thanks for the tip. I don't see anything about resetting use passwords
when I hold [command] r after rebooting the computer. Could you direct
me further please?

You might have to change that account password using the recovery
partition then. I had this recently happen on a Mac I migrated
settings from a time machine backup. I had to change her password
through the resetpassword option in the recovery partition.

I have managed to find the list of users now and reset the password.
Strangely enough, the password still does not work. It is the
stingiest thing…I reset the password, try to log in as that user and I
absolutely cannot. Anybody experienced this before?
Thx,
Jeff

What comes to mind is did you unlock the system preferences for the
users and groups. You will probably need to do this to view the
other accounts.
As for the mailboxes, there is an import mailbox item in the file
menu of mail. I don't know if this would work or not, though, as I
have not tried importing from another account on the Mac.

Hi all,
Last weekend, we bought my wife a new Mac Book Air. I set it all up
and it has been working fine. Today my task was to transfer her
email from her old Windows machine. I used the Migration Assistant
and it seemed to work fine. However, it has created a new user on
the Air with a password that I do not know. I presume that all her
email messages have been set up correctly within that profile.
So, I went into System Panel and selected "users". Her original
account has administrator privileges but, I don't seem to be able to
see the other user to change the password. Any thoughts?
Once I get into the other profile, I will also need to know how I
might be able to bring the mail into her original user account.
Thoughts on that are also welcome.
Thx,
Jeff
