My AAO (see current config in signature) was bought as a "return" and had been restored in the shop using a USB recovery drive. Everything works fine but I had to reset the password (sudo bash > passwd) to get to Add/Remove Programs. However if I try to change the password using Settings > Password or use the Quit > Lock facility then this password does not work. The two passwords in the BIOS are both set to "clear". While neither of these problems stop me using the AAO I am bothered by the thought that there are passwords in my box that I do not know. Any suggestions gratefully received. Alan
