Previous restore points and admin password

Hi [member=7067]JanetBiggar[/member]

Quote:there may be a point whereby the OLD password is forgotten particularly if the youth using the computer elects to change the pw

The best advice I can give is that you save all of the pws you use safely and using different methods/approaches; in a usb flash drive, in a notebook, in the cloud, in your e-mail, your mobile...you might as well use all of these options, cause no OS is "human error proof" so is up to users to try to take care of things like these for themselves, however, there are apps like keepass, lastpass and other similars  which can help in creating, managing and saving your passwords, pick one, try it and see if it suits your needs, if it doesn't try another till you find the one that suits you better.
Also, you can change the lost/old pw which involves not a very dificult procedure but it does require some work. You may read here all about it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword

Hope this helps! Smile
