Galen: Thanks a lot for your response. I see it now. The problem I had is
that while logged on under my acct with Administrative Privileges, I was
checking a recently created profile and it was 100% not there. However,
when I looked for it under my own user profile it was, just as you stated it
should be. The reason I believe it (Prevent A Forgotten Password) is not
there as an option under the temp account is because that account actually
never made a log on attempt. Perhaps it was not an option because since no
logon, no default profile, no creation of a password! I better keep
studying! Thanks again.
