I installed Ubuntu on my brother's system a year ago... IT worked great! A few months ago he bought another computer and moved all his date to another computer and gave me back the computer. When I setup the computer I discovered that it would not update because it asked for a password. I ask my brother and he told me he never knew the password. SINCE I set it up, he thought I had the password. I NEVER setup a password! -- Since my brother was the only person to use the system, and I was the only person to set up the computer, NO passwords were ever established.
NOW when I tired to UPDATE the operating system and it kept asking for a password..... It was never updated. 196Megs --- one full year of updates--- So whatever is wrong could be ONE YEAR OLD! Now they told me that the Policy was no passwords-- and since they changed the policy sometime in 2012--- I figured I had to RE-INSTALL the entire program! I haven't done it yet! I put the computer on the shelf.
I am a website builder- I host websites -- I am retired Engineer! so I am not dumb! or stupid! I even use to build my own computers back in the 80's and 90's --- (they were too expensive)
that's it-- If you guys want me to try something-- send me instruction -- and I'll try it!
BUT if push comes to shove-- I'll just re-install the software.
