Dear Bruce,

It is just like the last time I tried to get 'em' back.  When I opened 
SystemSettings>AboutMe and tried to reset my password it said my 
password was too insecure but said do I really want to do that anyway.  
I confirmed and it rejected it again, and this time gave me no options.  
Is there a way to override the computer.  I am certainly using a secure 
enough password to get into my computer.  Doesn't it have to obey the 
boss?  Is there a way to force it.
