Hello,
Yes you can reset the password very easily. If you want to give me a call
send an email off list.

Subject: [nabs-l] my laptop suddenly has a password

I have one adman account that has no password, and the built-in adman
account that doesn't have a password.  Awhile ago, I put my computer to
sleep.  I woke it up and it is now the adman account that I primarily use
asks for a password that I never set.  I typed in some random password in
the box and I got "The password is incorrect, try again," I clicked ok and
it goes back to this loop.  I went into the built-in adman account and I
have no problems getting in.  I went to search box and I typed netplwiz.
I clicked enter.  I selected my primary user account from the adman
console and it was checked saying "Users must enter a password to use this
computer." I unchecked the box.  I clicked ok.  I switched to my primary
account and it worked.  I put my computer to sleep.  I opened it up and it
asks for a password that's never been set.  This time I pressed enter and
I was in.
The thing is jaws is saying I have a password, but I don't.  I did the
same experiment on the other one and it doesn't ask for a password to wake
up the computer.  Since I have an unlocked adman account, can I reset the
other user account?
