If you press f8 or some other f key (I forget what one,) It takes you to a blue/grey screen that lets you edit your account password. A major security flaw, in my view. -.-

I'm pretty sure you can bypass a password by pressing Tab 4 times, and pressing enter.

I THINK you can, at least.

There's a command you can type into the run module to allow you to reset passwords via a GUI

Can't remember it.
I shall look on the google
