I'm using Home edition. When I go to User Accounts
with Windows running in normal mode there is a selection
to Create a Password. Does this mean that I didn't create
a password during setup?? This might seem like a dumb
question but if I did create a password, why isn't the
selection Change Password as opposed to Create Password?
Thanks,
James
