What I've found is the passwood is "None", i.e. there isn't one. I didn't
see that when I wrote the first email on this password thing. The rub is,
to set a password, i.e. a new one, you have to unlock, so I click the
padlock icon and then I am asked for a password - authenticate it. It's
like a dog chasing it's tail.

In all of this, hours and hours, I've shutdown and restarted just in case
I've tried too many time, like Joan mentioned you 3 chances, I've also had
numerous times when I clicked to shutdown or restart and I get the
secondary little window asking "Do you want to shutdown or restart" ...
yes, shutdown / restart but it doesn't shutdown or restart.

One other irritating thing is that sometimes I just hover the cursor over
something to get the pop-up just to see what it is, and it just goes there
on it's on.

When I stopped for lunch I set it on the desktop with the Panther on the
screen. Nice dark, easy to see the cursor. 20 minutes or so when I come
back, FireFox is open to my gmail page. No one here but me and the ghosts
... LOL!

I'm using my Windows right now. As soon as I send this I'll going to try to
reinstall. I'm not sure how to go about it but I'll come back here and ask
if I can't get it.
