I have two lap top computers as well as my iPads which range from old to new. Far too many of them but the lap tops are now only used as storage for old writings or photographs.
They are just a little too big to use in bed!
But they are linked to my printer so I do use them for printing out letters and sermons etc.
Yesterday I got cross. Not an unusual event these days.....
A lap top I’ve been using for at least six years suddenly decided to ask me for my pass word.
I’ve never had a pass word for the lap top. After a couple of tries, using an old word abandoned years ago it let me in.
Apple are making me very cross now. As well as insisting that I update everything constantly their direction that everything must be conducted via iTunes is very annoying.
Yesterday I turned to an even older machine in order to print off tomorrow’s sermon.
I did get it done in the end but only at the cost of my exasperation and plain bad temper!
Sometimes I just need to go in, open up a letter heading, write a paragraph, print it and get out.
My husbands lap top also asks me for my password. Fortunately he had written it down before he died so I can get into that one...but my old writings , photographs etc are not on that one.
I am sure there is a solution. But I’m not ready to go back to Windows.....yet.
Enough Apple!

There must be a failsafe admin password to let you in. My windows computer uses pin numbers, but my master sign in password is hidden, but I know where it is and in an emergency, can find it. As long as it's not on the computer.
Storing it in a word document in the cloud helps. Documents not called password, but something memorable and not opened in years, but still available if needed, via my mobile phone, my spouses laptop, which is 12 years old, but still in good working order.
